The Federal Ministry of Education has urged Nigerians to disregard false news making the rounds that the Federal Government had directed the reopening of schools soon. The ministry of Education Director of Press, Ben Goong, said on Sunday that there was no such directive from the minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, as everyone had been instructed to work from home due to the coronavirus pandemic. Goong stated that parents, guardians and stakeholders must not be misled by fake news but should continue to abide by the Federal Government’s regulations to tackle the ravaging pandemic. He said, “On the issue of reopening of schools, the ministry has not directed the reopening of any school at any level. The purported press release by the minister to that effect is a clear forgery as it did not emanate from the minister" “Parents, students and the general public are advised to please disregard the fake release as it did not emanate from the Federal Ministry of Education.
