Ayade’s failed gamble
It was good that reason prevailed in Cross River State last week when the state government shelved its plan for experimental reopening of schools amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Cross River is yet to formally record a case of the pandemic, but its status is highly controversial as stakeholders like doctors have argued that the zero disease burden owes to few tests conducted.
According to reports, many pupils of the designated schools showed up for resumption but were turned back by principals who pointed out that only SS1 to SS3 students were expected.The inadequacy of protective gears is being addressed though by the state government, which is said to have engaged Indians for massive production and distribution of the equipment to schools for free.
