The Federal Government has confirmed the reopening of schools across the nation on January 18.

This was contained in a circular issued by the Federal Ministry of Education through the Office of the Director (Press & PR) on Thursday.

Recall that the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, had earlier rubbished reports of an indefinite suspension of resumption of schools.

“We have had extensive discussions with state governors, proprietors of schools, labour/staff unions and students’ representatives. And the consensus is that we should reopen all schools.

“But the reopening of schools will comply with COVID-19 protocols, especially strict adherence to non-pharmaceutical procedures,” he said.

And the ministry noted that after extensive consultation with relevant stakeholders, it decided to proceed with the reopening.

It, however, advised all institutions across the country to abide by the guidelines including the use of face masks, temperature checks and maintenance of social distancing.
