Most parents in Lagos State have kicked against the reopening of schools in view of the continued spread of the coronavirus in the country, TopNaija reports.

 

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the parents said it was important for the Federal and state governments to continue to safeguard children from the pandemic.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Federal Government had said it was considering adopting morning and afternoon shifts of classes for reopening of schools.


One of the parents, Mrs Ayobami Ojo, urged the government to allow children to remain at home until containment of the pandemic.

“There is no need for morning and evening classes. Let the children continue to stay safe at home as the virus is increasing every day.

“Children will naturally not be as cautious as adults and schools cannot be compared to markets. Reopening of schools should be considered when confirmed cases drop very well,” Ojo said.
