The Federal Government has directed all Unity Schools in the country to resume academic activities from October 12.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, gave this directive on Friday during a news conference in Abuja.
He said, “We have consulted widely with all stakeholders in the education sector. Our eyes and ears are opened to the international media.
“I am 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 Presidential Task Force, we have resolved that our Unity Schools be opened on October 12, 2020.”
The unity schools, according to the minister, are at liberty to fix resumption dates and ensure adequate safety measures.
He warned that schools who fail to adhere to the COVID-19 safety protocols, risk closure if there is an outbreak from such institutions.
