Its quite unfortunate that this epidemic could deteriorate our school schedule and academic section. I stay in Kaduna state,i noticed so many pupils are been sent home and few schools are teaching. What is at stake for these pupils as they continue to roam about the street and insecurity concern. The other states where normal academic activities will not resume are Rivers, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, Benue, Niger, Zamfara, Adamawa, Kano, Kwara, Kogi, Akwa Ibom and Ebonyi states.
Teachers in Lagos will be on duty today but pupils
will remain at home until October 8. There had been controversy over the directive by the Federal Government that schools should resume on
September 22 since the spread of the Ebola Virus
Disease had been contained in the country.
The Nigeria Union of Teachers however ordered its
members to shun academic activities until the
government provided gadgets in schools to ensure
not only their safety but that of their pupils.
Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola, after
meeting on Sunday with public school headteachers,
said the decision was to ensure that schools in the
state were safe for both the teachers and their pupils. He said, “On this issue of resumption, we are on the same side. We are all concerned about safety in the schools. What is happening in your area?
