The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 has said
schools in the country will resume on January 18, until the Ministry of
Education announces further directive.
PTF National Coordinator, Dr Sani Aliyu, stated this while
featuring on TVC on Tuesday.
Just yesterday, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, said
the Federal Government would review the January 18 date which was fixed for
resumption of schools across Nigeria.
However, Aliyu clarified that Adamu did not say the date has
been changed.
Aliyu said, “As regards schools, I just want to make a
clarification, what the minister said yesterday was that they were going to
review, he didn’t say that they were going to change the date. He said they
will review the situation and let the nation know.
“So, for the moment, it is still 18th January until the Ministry of Education comes back either with an alternative date or reconfirms that.”
The PTF Chairman and Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Boss Mustapha, had listed reopening of schools as one of the
reasons why COVID-19 numbers have spiked.
