But even if we leave aside the public interest, it is not the duty of the central government to decide for states resumption schedules for their schools.

How we got to where we are today; Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu gave answer in 1966 speech
In 1966, Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu seemed to give us the answer in a speech he made after staging a successful coup. Here is an excerpt from his speech that day:
Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men inhigh and low places that seek bribes and demand 10 percent; those that seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office as ministers or VIPs at least, the tribalists, the nepotists, those that make the country look big for nothing before international circles, those that have corrupted our society and put the Nigerian political calendar back by their words and deeds.
Do you agree with him?
