The Federal Government on Thursday insisted that School resumption must go ahead on January 18.
The Ministry of Education said the decision to stick to the earlier date was taken after due consultation and review of all the issues around it.
Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education Sunny Echono confirmed this.
He said “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.”
He said the resumption must however respect all protocol set for the prevention of coronavirus.
