According to Mallam Adamu, schools across the country are at their right to fix their own resumption dates as at when on or after Oct 12 so as to ensure adequate safety measures.
Though the Minister warned that schools who fail to adhere to the outlined COVID-19 safety protocols risk being shut down if there is an outbreak from such institutions.
He said, “We have consulted widely with all stakeholders in the education sector. Our eyes and ears are opened to the international media.
“I’m 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 PTF, we have resolved that our Unity Schools be opened on October 12, 2020.”
