We are tired of staying home idle, I think the institutions’ managers can implore the government to make provision for items like face masks, hand sanitisers, soaps and fumigation of all institutions across the country.
They cannot just ask us to stay at home without doing anything. It is better to direct all higher institutions to reopen, because the lockdown is not working. Despite the stay at home order, the cases keep increasing. So, I will urge the Federal Government to take the necessary measures that was taken during the Ebola virus outbreak by providing health facilities and materials to various institutions to keep the spread at bay. Such provisions including fumigation of all institutions across the country; provisions of sanitisers, and other necessary health facilities, will go a long way. Also, I believe many institutions will come up with solutions to curb the spread of the virus in campuses.”
Affirming Ibrahim’s claims, Adanlawo Favour, a student of Ekiti State University (EKSU), said, “We are tired of staying at home doing nothing. E-learning is helping, yes, but it is not working for everybody. Some of us that want to use the opportunity to engage in skill acquisition, the Federal government ordered hairdressers, tailors and barbing salons to lock up. An idle mind they say is the devil’s workshop, we are tired of home, and government should reopen schools.”
For Akande Opeyemi, a student of Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, although government directed schools to switch to e-learning, it cannot be compared to the conventional style of learning.
“If government directs all institutions to resume academic activities, I can assure you that we (students) will follow the rules of social distancing and other safety guidelines. Also they should work out the lecture period and timetable according to a particular number of students due to students’ population.
