Last week, the federal government announced that due to the Ebola outbreak, the resumption date of primary and secondary schools would be postponed to October 13th to enable school officials undergo a two-week mandatory Ebola treatment/prevention training.
However, the government has made a new
announcement, stating that schools should resume on September 22nd due
to the fact that “Nigeria has achieved about 90 percent success in the
fight against the dreaded Ebola virus disease,” Business Day reports.
Ibrahim Shekarau, the
minister of education made the announcement today in Abuja. He also
stated that “…the training of minimum of two health officials per school
as regards the management of the disease continues and should end on or
before 22nd of September”.
