Speaking at the policy meeting on admission that was hosted online on Tuesday June 16, by JAMB, Abuja, the Minister of State for Education, Dr Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, reiterated the government’s commitment to reopen schools soon. He however advised schools not to be in a haste to reopen until government gives the instruction to do so.
The Minister further instructed that institutions should go ahead to put measures in place in readiness for the reopening of schools for studies. In his words, “All institutions must have (1) Hand-washing facilities, (2) Body temperature checks (3) Body disinfectants at all entering points to their major facilities including the gates, hostels, classes, offices, etc (4) The whole premises of each institution must be decontaminated (5) All efforts must be geared towards maintenance of the highest level of hygiene and (6) Ensure Social and Physical Distancing in class sizes and meeting spaces.”
Three weeks ago, we also brought to you an earlier guideline issued by the Federal Ministry of Education in preparation for the reopening of schools. Dr. Nwajiuba stated that there will be ‘‘classes in the morning and classes in the afternoon so that we will have the whole of the infrastructure divided, provided they can serve us. I am not sure we will have classes at night. But we can do with morning and afternoon for now.”
