The Akwa Ibom State government has urged parents to provide
face masks when schools in the state reopen.
A statement signed by the state Commissioner for
Information, Charles Udoh on Friday said the use of face masks is compulsory
for children and adults to be allowed into school premises.
Udoh said the decision was aimed at reducing the possibility
of community spread of coronavirus infection in schools.
He added that the order for the re-opening of schools will
be announced in due course.
“Although, basic education remains free and compulsory in
Akwa Ibom State; and the government continues to pay the annual WAEC fees for
indigenes, parents and guardians are expected to provide face masks for each
child and also ensure they are washed daily.
“This announcement is in the best interest of every citizen
and resident. Stay safe; Be safe.”
