The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, have hinted that schools may resume in the country after the end of interstate travel ban. 
The minister expressed this during a report by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja on Monday.
While rehashing that the government have not released any date for schools to resume, he said the ministry of education will not lead Nigerian students into peril.
Nwajiuba stated, "We need to open when it is safe to do as such. We have heard of neighboring nations that opened and shut. We have found out about cases spiking with children getting into school. Of the considerable number of things, I won't prefer to experiment things regarding your children.
"We need a circumstance where once we are certain it is safe, we would then be able to bring them into school.
"I have quite recently completed a gathering with the delegates of WAEC and NABTEB and I see how worried our parents are right now and how restless our kids are to realize what next.
"As soon as the ban is lifted because there is no way we can open our schools if teachers can't come. Along these lines, we are taking
a gander at some place after the interstate lockdown is lifted. Since we will require that sort of receptiveness for the children to move."
The Federal Government had in March closed all schools in the nation as a major aspect of measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
