Federal Government on Friday directed all Unity Schools in the country to resume with effect from October 12.
Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, stated this at a press conference in Abuja.
Adamu said schools across the country are at liberty to fix resumption dates and ensure adequate safety measures.
He warned that schools which fail to adhere to outlined COVID-19 safety protocols would be risking closure if there’s an outbreak from such institutions.
Adamu said, “We have consulted widely with all stakeholders in the education sector. Our eyes and ears are opened to the international media.
“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.
“We have come to the conclusion that we have to review our decisions. After consultation with PTF, we have resolved that our Unity Schools be opened on October 12, 2020.”
