FG orders all schools to reopen

The Federal government has directed all schools in the country to reopen but must adhere to the guidelines for the reopening of schools.

Schools across the country were shut in March as part of steps to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, directed that schools should reopen during a press briefing in Abuja on Friday.
He advised all institutions to adhere to the guidelines for the reopening of schools, earlier announced by the presidential task force, including the use of face mask, observance of social distance and washing of hands.
He said all unity schools should open by October 12 “while states and private schools will determine their own modalities of reopening.”
States such as Lagos, Oyo, Kane and Enugu, have since announced dates for the reopening of schools
