The Federal Government of Nigeria - FGN -announced on monday that, final year students preparing for the West African Examination Council, Senior Secondary School Examination, National Exam in at iron Council (NECO) and National Business and Technical Education Board (NABTEB examinations, would soon be allowed to resume for revisions.
Minister of State for Education, Hon Chukwuemaka Nwajiuba, stated this while answering questions from journalists, at the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.
He further advised the various state governments, not to rush  into reopening of schools in their states, because of the  continued increase in the  cases of the COVID-19 in the country.
He urged them not to be pushed to reopen schools, because of pressure from some children and parents.
We recall that because of the corona virus disease in the country, the Federal Government ordered the close down of all schools in the country, to curb the spread of the disease.
This is coming as a sign of relief to final year students, who are preparing for their examinations, as they have been hoping for the reopening of schools.
It is further expected that, other students will follow in a similar manner, with measures being put in place to keep on check, the spread of the disease.
