The federal government had shifted the January 4 resumption of schools to January 18, 2021, a date that is no longer sacrosanct owing to the nation’s COVID-19 indicators according to the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.
Adamu at the M9nday joint national briefing of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, said,“When we decided on that date, it was just a target toward what we are working on.
“’Of course we are keeping it in view and looking at what is happening in the society and then it is supposed to be subject to constant review.
“’Even today at the PTF meeting, we looked at the rising figures and thought we should probably take another look at it. On the Jan.18, 2021 date for schools resumption, we are reviewing it,” he said.
The minister added that the issue was considered at the PTF meeting held on Monday and the ministry would take it up on Tuesday.
