Rapper, E.L is against the decision by Ghana Education Service (GES) to reopen schools even though the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the country is on the rise.

Speaking with Amansan Krakye on Radio Central, the ‘Efa WoHu Ben’ rapper, advised GES to exercise patience in their quest to get students back to school.

Asked if it was right for schools to reopen soon he said :

“The numbers are still going up so I don’t know what they mean by things are safe. Because as per my observations and my knowledge the numbers are still rising

Nowhere in the world right now have schools been opened for students to attend. So I will advise that we should hold on a little longer because there is no need for us to rush to go back into the world and get hurt or get sick.

Because if Coronavirus should escalate in Ghana just like what happened in some foreign countries, the effects will surely be devastating due to the fact that we are still a third world country.”
