Reopen all schools, Fed Govt orders operators
By Abisola THOMPSON
The Federal Government has ordered the reopening of all schools in the country by the operators.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, made the disclosure during a press briefing in Abuja today.
He advised all institutions to obey and adhere to the guidelines for the reopening of schools earlier announced by the presidential task force.
He said all unity schools should open by October 12 “while states and private schools will determine their own modalities of reopening.”
Many states including Lagos, Oyo, Kano and Enugu, have since announced dates for the reopening of schools in their states.
The Federal Government had ordered the closure of tertiary institutions, secondary and primary schools nationwide following the outbreak of coronavirus in the country in March.
