Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba has asked students across the nation to exercise more patience as Nigeria mulls the reopening of schools after months of forced closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The minister stated this during Monday’s briefing of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, ChannelsTV reports.
Nwajiuba who praised the students for their patience since schools were shut down in the country, gave an assurance that the Federal Ministry of Education is working with stakeholders for the safe reopening of the education centres.
“I urge our students who have actually exercised a lot of patience along with their parents … I urge you to bear with us a little bit more. The rioting needs to stop; there is nothing to riot about”.
