LAGOS State Governor Babatunde
Fashola, has said that resumption of
schools in the state would be
determined after the results of those
still under surveillance for Ebola Virus
Disease would have been known by next
week Thursday.
Speaking after yesterday’s Jumaat
prayer at the state secretariat mosque
in Alausa, Fashola explained that there
were still about 19 people under
surveillance, adding that the 21 days
set aside for the surveillance would end
on September 18, 2014.
His words: “Even though the number of
Ebola cases has reduced and most of the
contacts are out of the 21-day
quarantine, we should avoid any
complacency. Until the last case is over
and surveillance completed, we should
not relent in the effort at tackling the
disease.”
Fashola added that members of the
State Executive Council, SEC, and other
stakeholders’ held a crucial meeting on
how to contain the virus and the
feasibility of September 22, resumption
date set by the Federal Government .
He said by the time results of those
under surveillance are known, the state
would meet with stakeholders in the
education and health sectors to
determine when the schools would be
resuming.
