The Federal Government on Friday directed all public and private schools in the country to reopen on September 22.
Government had earlier last month ordered that schools should remain closed till October 13 due to the outbreak of the Ebola virus in the country.
The Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, who disclosed this in Abuja after an emergency meeting with state Commissioners for Education warned that measures put in place to curb the spread of Ebola are still intact.
Schools in Nigeria were initially expected to reopen for the new academic session in second week of September.
The minister said all Federal Government colleges should also comply with the directive.
Shekarau disclosed that any state Ministry of Education that has not appointed designated desk officers on Ebola information should do that before resumption date.
He said the states’ ministry of education should ensure that at least two staff in each school – both public and private are trained by appropriate health workers on how to handle any suspected case of Ebola.
He added that they should embark on immediate sensitization of teaching and non-teaching staff in schools on preventive measures.
The training, the minister ordered must be concluded before resumption of schools. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Okay O! We hope. U confused leaders will not change the date again.
ReplyDeleteWhy now. Can't the resumption wait till the Ebola situation in the country is brought under control. This our leaders are really confused. 1 step forward and 5 steps backward. May God continue to protect these children. Amen.
ReplyDeleteNigerian government is really confused, government will take action today and tomorrow that action will be reverse. Why are you always in a haste to take nonsense action, only for you to regret and reconsider it tomorrow. Stop doing things that will always give people room to insult you. When Kings speaks they has spoken no reversion, that is why they are always calculates before speaking. And whenever they speaks in a haste so shall it be. Please Our able President stop allowing those your praisesingers to make you take decisions in a haste, only for them to tell you again to reverse it. They are making caricature of you. God bless Nigeria

This is no fair at all. For some of us Oct 13th gave us respite cos of d harsh economic situation where moni is only available to few. Now we have to run helter sketer to look for funds for the kids to be in school. Pls our govt should consult extensively n wisely b4 taking decisions concerning us.

OK,this is another way for your blood ritual,no more plane crash,you need more blood one way or the other.
How much did private school organization give you this curse leader,
Because they want children to pay full payment, cos the October 13 is half term before Xmas,they need money but no lives care.
All private schools are after the money.
How many of them can provide the protection instruments for their schools.
