The federal government has reversed its earlier announcement of schools’ resumption.
It also said Nigeria will not participate in the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) earlier scheduled for August 5 and September 5.
The examination was initially postponed indefinitely to check the spread of COVID-19.
Minister of state for education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, had however announced that the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations will take place between August and September.
But speaking to state house correspondents at the end of the virtual federal executive council meeting, minister of education, Adamu Adamu said Nigerian schools will not reopen any time soon until it is safe to do so because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He also said that final-year students preparing for the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) will not be allowed to return to school contrary to earlier announcement
