The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, on Tuesday, said schools in the country will resume on January 18.
PTF National Coordinator, Dr Sani Aliyu, confirmed this, saying the date remains until the Ministry of Education announces further directive.
Recall that the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, had on Monday, said the Federal Government would review the January 18 earlier date fixed for resumption of schools across Nigeria.
Aliyu further revealed that the minister 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 reconfirm that.”
