National President of the union, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, made this position known on Monday while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ota, Ogun State.

The union argued that the government must make resources available in order for schools to meet proposed conditions by the Federal Ministry of Education.

He urged the government to provide the ideal environment and meet the conditions spelt out by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) before reopening schools across the country.

“The Federal Government must lead and show the ways by meeting the conditions for reopening of schools before any school can be allowed to open because COVID-19 pandemic is a health challenge.

“When it comes to public health, it is something that should not be left in the hands of individuals but the Federal Government must take the lead,” Ogunyemi said.

The ASUU president listed the conditions spelt out by NCDC to include the provision of materials for regular handwashing, provision of face masks, isolation spaces, hand sanitisers, amongst others.

He said many government-owned schools don’t have financial capacities to meet the outlined conditions.

“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,” the ASUU president added.

Schools across the country were shut in March to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
