We are against school resumption-Parent/Guardian tells Lagos State Government

Parents in Lagos State have turn their back against the Government over resumption of schools during COVID-19  pandemic 

News Agency of Nigeria report, that the parents/guardian said it was important for the Federal and state governments to continue to make sure of the safety of our children from the pandemic.

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

Please allow our children to remain at home until containment of the pandemic,  Mrs Ayobami Ojo, one of the parents pleaded to the government.

Mrs  Ayobami Ojo  said “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”

“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.

Also, a businesswoman, Mrs Abiodun Aina, who lives at Ayobo, said that children’s lives could be endangered when schools resume.

“It is difficult to control a grown up, let alone children, we should not risk the lives of children. A two-shift option for classes may not stop the spread of the virus. It is better for them to remain at home until COVID -19 subsides or a vaccine is found,” she said.

“Citizens shouldn’t put much burden on the government to reopen schools. Why are we in a rush? We need to be patient, even top countries are all observing stay home” Mrs Aina said.
