Schools disinfection begins July 7 – FG

The disinfection of schools against the spread of COVID-19 in preparation for the resumption of class activities will begin on Tuesday, the Federal Government announced on Monday.

It also explained why it delayed the decontamination process, adding that it had enough teams on ground to carry out the disinfection exercise.

The Minister of Environment, Muhammad Mahmood, disclosed this in Abuja at the briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.

He said, “Earlier I told you that we have sat with the Ministry of Education and we have the list of all the schools that need to be disinfected before resumption. Well, what we plan to do now is to do (decontaminate) the centres that will be used.”

On why the process was delayed, the minister said it was intentional, as the plan was to ensure that the chemicals were effective enough when the schools resume.

Mahmood said, “The delay is because it is better to disinfect and decontaminate within a short period of time so that the kids will be going back into these classes when they have been freshly decontaminated.

“This is because the chemicals we use are chemicals that are not long lasting, they have short contact time to do their job. So we will be getting this done before Monday when they (schoolchildren) will be back to use these classes.”

The minister said the decontamination would commence from Tuesday and assured parents that the schools would be safe for learning activities.

“So it is between tomorrow (Tuesday) and the rest of the week. We have enough teams and people that we will engage to get that done. So rest assured that your kids will be returning to a safe environment when they resume,” he said.

Mahmood noted that the decontamination exercise would be done across the country.

Not just for covid, general cleaning. Reptiles are everywhere now, the surrounding grass is now a forest

PTF will take the credit of re-opening schools, whereas GSM took the bold & decisive step.

exactly what I was thinking.. considering coronavirus doesn't last mm ore than 10 days on surfaces

Nice move!

Mumu government, opening market places but closing Churches and Schools,, their mumu never do?

Very good and commendable move. Lets live with the virus cautiously and stay safe.

Lol. This is why Nigerians believe this is a scamdemic.

When cases never even reach 100 a day una rush shut down everywhere. Now wey we dey grt 500-700 as daily scores una come dey open everywhere like ashewo leg.


Hushgovernment.

Nice 1

Waiting for those parents wey no get school fees to pay to talk ill of these FG resumption move like they masturbated on Makinde's School resumption yesterday.

Kuku tell us say u never see school fees money, and apply for Government grant . Lobatan. Abegi, Coro is here to stay with us. Thank God am now recovering from Loss of smell and Taste .

Shithole

Nigeria may have become the epic centre of the corona virus without the citizens even knowing. If as of today the NCDC has tested only 152,000 persons of a population of over 200,000 million and recording a confirmed positive cases of 29,000. It then invariably means that if the testing capacity steps up and 152million people were to be tested, we might be recording a staggering 29million positive covid 19 cases with a vast majority most likely to be asymptomatic!! God help us all

Yinmu.

real preparation has began

Good morning

u seriously typed this?,...are u joking?

even Europe that have recovered haven't opened schools and churches

Great work on the path of the government..... Hope they would cover all the LGs within the short time?...

HOW MUCH UNA GO USE? TELL US ..

THE KIND BILLIONS DEM GO CHOP EHN

ANODA FORMAT FROM THE SINZU BUSINESS SCHEME

What plans have they put in place for social distancing in public schools? Not disinfecting schools here & there.

Now that WAEC exam is billed to commence on August 4, won't 'oversabi' governors not have to open schools in their schools before then

Let us know how much has been budgeted for this disinfection since this government is always creating an avenue to syphon money without actual action

It's alright... I hope that this is effectively done across board (schools).

No one wants to take any chances and besides they're still somethings we don't know about this corona virus infection

Hmmm..... the chemicals are not long lasting.... so they will be used just before the children resume. Think about this .... then tell me why the chemicals will not affect the children. When our children begin to have respiratory problems... rashes... asthma.... or in the long term develop cancer or some unusual sickness..... we must not be wondering why.
