To prevent an outbreak of the Ebola Viral
Disease (EVD), the Federal Government
yesterday approved the extension of the current
holiday of primary and secondary schools
across the country until further notice.
The development, government stated, is part of
measures to curb the spread of Ebola. Also, the
National Council on Health (NCH) has banned
the inter-state transportation of corpses with
immediate effect.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on
Youth and Students Matters, Comrade Jude
Imagwe, who disclosed the postponement of
school resumption in Abuja yesterday did not
state how long the students would be on
holiday.
He said that President Goodluck Jonathan was
wary of the danger of the disease to the
nation’s future generation and as a result
ordered that the schools remained on holiday
till the country find a way out of the outbreak.
“He advised that as a President, he did not
desire that our secondary and primary schools
should be opened at this time because we have
high population of young brothers and sisters
who want to see themselves grow from primary
and graduate tomorrow. “We cannot have what
it takes to have eye on each of these brothers
and sisters: the future of this country in their
classes,” he said.
He spoke at a one-day forum on Tertiary
Institutions Students Health Insurance
Programme organised by the National
Universities Commission (NUC) and NHIS.
Imagwe, who charged Nigerians to be
conscious of their environment as well as
maintain healthy lifestyle in the face of Ebola
outbreak, also cautioned against the use of
untested and unscientific drugs as a prevention
or cure to the virus.

The tertiary institution should be close to avoid the spreading of e-bola. Nairaland should follow suit to stop the spreading of rumour about E-bola.

Mrs dreamer, who told you that ur government are interested in fight ebola. Their only waiting for U.S.A to send them the experimental drug instead of researching for their own cure. Who told you that ebola can not be cured 2ru herbs. Even ur useless NAFDAG is threatening to arrest any one who comes up with cure of ebola 4rm Nigeria instead of encouraging the people to search for d cure, they are crawling nd begging d united state. so tel me, if you find d cure for ebola will you be confident to tell anyone nd be arrested by ur NAFDAG?. So the students shld stay at home while we wait for united state to send us the experimental drugs..........! Warrants nonsense!!!.

When are they going to have workers stay at home (except pay roll unit)
