FG Breaks Silence On Ordering Reopening Of Schools

The Federal Ministry of Education has denied reports claiming it ordered the reopening of schools.

The ministry’s spokesperson, Ben Gooong, in a statement on Sunday night, said there was no such directive from the minister, Adamu Adamu, as everyone had been instructed to work from home due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Gooong urged parents and guardians to disregard such reports.

“On the issue of reopening of schools, the ministry has not directed the reopening of any school at any level,” the statement read.

“Parents, students and the general public are advised to please disregard the fake release. There is also another story making the rounds that the Federal Government has blamed the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities on vice-chancellors.

“At no time did any Federal Government official make that kind of statement.”

There are currently 323 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Nigeria.
