The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has asked the Minister of Education, Mr Ibrahim Shekarau, to review the directive given to schools over their resumption following the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease in Nigeria.
The Minister of Health, Dr. Onyebuchi Chukwu, said this while updating journalists on the Federal Government’s handling of the Ebola Virus Disease.
According to him, schools resumption may be in September as the Federal Government has put all precautionary measures in place to check the spread of the virus.
He said that the Minister of Education would meet with all education commissioners in the country to arrive at the resumption date to be announced after the meeting.
Dr. Chukwu also dispelled rumours of the spread of the disease in Zaria, Abuja, Edo and Calabar, saying that only two cases of Ebola Virus Disease remain in the country,with one in Lagos and the other in Port Harcourt.
