Federal Government Gives Palliative Care To Students On Children’s Day

It was as if the federal government read the story on the interview our reporter had with some primary schools and junior secondary students yesterday, 27 May 2020, as some of the students’ requests were taken into consideration.

The federal government with the help of the state government shared some food items for the children in all primary schools.

Our reporter who visited the batch of Eti Osa noticed that food items worth N4,500 were distributed for each of the children.

The food items were: 5kg of rice, beans, and some condiments for cooking.

The interview our reporter had with some students before the new improvement came are below:

A student of Gbara Junior Secondary School, Fawaz Opemipo, said that the social distancing rule was for their own good but he felt that the federal government has failed by opening the business ventures before schools.

“Are the traders not contagious as we children?” He said, “We are not happy at all the way the COVID-19 is treated here in Nigeria.”

A student of Ilasan Junior Secondary School, Fathia Adegboyega, said if they could not have access to social gatherings that the state government should provide palliative care for all of them through their database at the Ministry of Education to show its fatherly care for all the younger students in the Lagos State.

“If we receive gifts from government despite our being at home, we will not feel the absence of the social gatherings that normally accompany the children’s day,” she said.

A student at Victoria Island Junior Secondary School, Edet Monica, said she is not absolutely angry with the government of the state as she felt that the government is working according to the World Health Organization, adding that the problem at hand is a global one.

“Well, I just pray that the Indian boy that predicted the coming of the pandemic and its vanished moment should be accurate. If it works according to the boy, we will be resuming school by June,” she said.
