The Federal Government has directed all schools across the country to fully reopen by October 12, 2020.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, disclosed this during a press briefing in Abuja today.
This announcement is coming after about six months of combating and preventing the spread of Covid-19, which was the cause of schools closure in the country.
Adamu advised all institutions to obey and adhere to the guidelines for the reopening of schools, earlier announced by the presidential task force.
He said, “The decision was reached after exhaustive discussions with education stakeholders in the public and private sector as well ad international and development partners. All state and private schools are to work out their modalities to reopen their schools.
“All unity schools (Federal Government Colleges) should open by October 12. I’m glad to report that there has not been any single case of COVID-19 in all Unity Schools. No single fatality among the students.”
