Nigeria students have been anticipating lockdown relaxation in schools, saying that people in market places are not as cautious as students.
Students in Nigeria, especially those in higher institutions of learning have been saying that the lockdown relaxation given to the traders and banks should also be given to schools.
The increase in the number of people being infected in Nigeria doesn’t scare the students, rather they want the government to look out for alternatively way to curb the pandemics.
A trader, Mrs. Tawakalitu Adegboyega, told our reporter that the locked Ivorian schools were opened yesterday.
She added that her uncle called her this morning from Ivory Coast to wish her children happy resumption day but she was confused with the wishes until her uncle told her that students resumed schools yesterday in Ivory Coast.
“I think the schools opened yesterday so that students in boarding school could have easy access to resume,” she said, “I still have three children who are at home as a result of the closure of schools in Nigerian. I would be happy if our government could say students should resume next Monday as the government has done to banks.
A student of Lagos State Polytechnic, (LASPOTECH), Serah Feko, said she prayed that the Nigerian government should bring up another measure to guide students away from contracting coronavirus instead of the stay-at-home order.
“I am fed up with staying at home for long. I need to go to school to see friends and to study,” she said.
Another student from the University of Ilorin, (UNIILORIN), Misturat Lawal said despite the fact that online classes are going on in almost every school, it would never be preferable to a real class.
“If we could manage social distance and also apply some other measures in schools like schools in China, it would have been better,” she said.

A fashion designer, Mr. Taiwo Ogunboyejo, said the problem Nigeria has as a country is that the government doesn’t love the citizens as they do to themselves.
“How much will it cost the government to assist all the schools with necessary medical equipment and order for trained medical personnel for proper operation,” he said.
