Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu has raised an alarm over the reopening of schools amid the COVID-19 second wave.

Sani said there is confusion over how the government should tackle the second wave of COVID-19.

The former lawmaker, in a tweet, said state governments should pay more attention in ensuring adherence to COVID-19 measures and not the Federal Government.

He tweeted: “Reopening schools and other #COVID19 regulatory measures should be a matter for the states and not the FG; the 36 states, including FCT have different infection rates. There is evident confusion on how to tackle the second wave.”
