Sani said there is confusion over how 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.”
The federal government fixed the date, even as it continues to deal with the second wave of COVID-19.
The resumption has caused fear among some Nigerians.

All is now set for schools to resume for educational activities today for first and second term academic calendar across the country.
The Federal Government, through the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 Control, announced in December that schools should not reopen for the second term, following the second wave of Coronavirus.
But, states last week forced the Federal Government to agree to reopening the schools despite lack of the neccesary protocols in place like hand washing platforms, sanitisers and social distancing in most schools.
As the schools resume today, our correspondents sent in reports on plans for the reopening in some states.
