As the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic resurges, the Federal Government says it would review the January 18 earlier date fixed for resumption of schools across Nigeria.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, disclosed this on Monday while answering questions during a press briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.
The minister said, “Today at the PTF meeting, we looked at the rising figures and decided that probably we should take another look at the date.
“The January 18 resumption date is not sacrosanct as it is subject to constant review in view of prevailing epidemiological circumstances. We are reviewing it.
“In view of the rising cases, today we have considered it at the meeting of the PTF.
“Tomorrow, the ministry is going to take it up. So, most likely it is going to be reviewed,” Adamu said.
