Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere has called for the sack of the Minister of Education Adamu Adamu and the Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, for refusing to reopen schools amid coronavirus pandemic.

Afenifere stated that the Ministry of Education had all the time to plan for the reopening of schools but failed to utilize it.

Afenifere's Secretary-General, Bashorun Sehinde Arogbofa, stated that news ministers should be appointed to take charge of affairs.

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?”
