Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has kicked against Federal Government’s decision to keep schools across the country closed indefinitely.
The group also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu for planning to ground education for a year.
It also called for the removal of the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba.
Secretary General of the association, Bashorun Sehinde Arogbofa, said the Federal Government should have allowed pupils to resume and find means of protecting them against the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said, “Adamu Adamu should be sacked. He cannot bring our school system back to the stone age. They had about six months to plan for these children, what did the Federal Government do?
“It means the two of them (Adamu and the Minister of State for Education) don’t know what they are doing, so they should go. I think the two ministers in the ministry should go. Why would one say the pupils should resume to take their paper in August and the other minister would come and reverse the order?”
