Nigerians React as ASUU Says NO to FG Reopening of Schools

The Academic Staff Union of University, ASUU, has kicked against the Federal Government’s idea to reopen schools.

ASUU National President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi noted that it will be suicidal amidst the novel COVID-19 pandemic to open schools.

“It is suicidal to reopen schools now if the Federal Government itself could not meet the conditions spelt out by the NCDC and the World Health Organisation. The nation will expose innocent children to avoidable risks,” Ogunyemi said.

While some are for the reopening, others kicked against call.

The Federal Government could have included final year students of Tertiary Institutions in the schools reopening scheme, but ASUU said NO it's suicidal. Who should be proposing convincing reasons backed up with feasible implementation policies for Universities resumption? Clowns

Federal government wants to reopen schools but ASUU doesn’t want it.

Who should the students face?

SS2 student: Once I'm done with SS3 I'll be 16, get admission into the university, study for 4 years, graduate at 20, serve for one year, get a job at 22 and marry at 23.😍
