According to him, not many homes in the state can have access to the school radio programme, noting that he was concerned and worried that children were still at home.
Emmanuel, who spoke in Uyo during a media update on COVID-19 pandemic, lamented that the school radio programme initiated by the state government to help students study while schools remain closed had not entirely realised its purpose.
He mentioned that once a solution was localised for COVID-19 so that it could be possible for schools to resume, he was in a haste to see that schools re-open. “The very reason we couldn’t do other ICT methodology of getting across to our pupils and students is that not all parents can afford a smartphone and not all parents can afford a TV. So, we had to leave for those who are not robust financially.
The governor, who noted that a lot of churches have followed the Christian Association of Nigeria guidelines for the reopening of churches, said the erring ones had been pardoned and advised that others stick to the guidelines as instructed.
