He further noted that, reopening the schools at this crucial time with the daily increase of the disease, was like making more children and teachers vunerable.
“The Federal Government gave guidelines for reopening of schools recently, but how many of these schools can oblige to these guidelines?
“Children may find it difficult to use the face masks, they cannot do without embracing themselves, shake hands with themselves and play together, all of which is against social distancing.
“Teachers will also be charged with additional responsibilities of teaching, as well as monitoring the children to comply with the precautionary measures against the virus.
“We are, therefore, calling on the Federal Government to reconsider its decisions on the matter, so that more alarming figures of casualties will not be recorded,” Akomolafe said.
