He described as fake, reports that the government would reopen schools on June 21. He said:

“Any reopening of school would involve the advice of experts on when it is safer to reopen schools.

He added that the reason is to avoid the mistake of shipping the students in and out of school and the Ministry would not like to lead Nigerians into danger by being in a hurry to reopen schools. “I’ll not want to experiment with your children.
