The Federal Government has given conditions for reopening of academic institutions across the country.
Speaking at the 2020 Policy Meeting on Admissions to Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Tuesday, Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, stated that the institutions must have “facilities, body temperature checks, body disinfectants at all entering points to their major facilities, including the gates, hostels, classes, offices, etc”.
“The whole premises of each institution must be decontaminated and all efforts must be geared toward maintenance of the highest level of hygiene. Ensure social and physical distancing in class sizes and meeting spaces,” Nwajiuba added.
“While we look forward to easing the lockdown which will ultimately lead to re-opening of our campuses, I urge all the heads of institutions not to wait till the announcement on reopening before putting in place all necessary measures in compliance with the protocols and advisories of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.”
Recall the Federal Government had shut down schools in the country in March, to halt the spread of the dreaded coronavirus disease.
