The federal government has reversed its earlier decision to reopen schools.
It also said academic activities and reopening of formal learning centers would not happen anytime soon.
Adamu Adamu, minister of education, disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday.
It also pulled students of federal government colleges better known as Unity Schools from the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) scheduled for August 5 and September 5.
The examination was initially postponed indefinitely to check the spread of COVID-19.
But Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, minister of state for education, had announced that the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations will take place between August and September.
But speaking to state house correspondents at the end of the virtual federal executive council meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, Adamu said Nigerian schools will not reopen any time soon until it is safe to do so because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said that final-year students preparing for the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) will not be allowed to return to school contrary to earlier announcement.
