According to him,the Federal government need to address the challenges of education sector before it can talk of reopening schools.
He said,"The federal government must lead and show the way by meeting the conditions for reopening schools before any school can be allowed to reopen because the COVID-19 pandemic is a health challenge.
"when it comes to public health,it is something that should not be left in the hands of individuals,but the Federal government must take the lead,"he said.
He went on to list conditions by NCDC to include ;provision of materials for regular washing of hands ,facemasks ,isolation centers,space for social distancing and hand sanitizers.
Ogunyemi noted that",how many of these schools could afford to provide hand sanitizers",saying that many of them do not even have running water,not to talk of having facilities for washing hands".
He added that many schools do not have enough spaces to promote physical distancing.
He further stated that inadequate funds by most parents would hinder them from providing some of these amenities needed for reopening of schools.
