Ebola: FG insists on Sept 22 resumption date
*Says those opposed to it are driven by “irrational
feat
The Federal government ,Wednesday, said the
September 22 resumption date for Primary and
Secondary schools in the country would not be
extended.
Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu
who stated this while briefing state House
correspondents after the weekly Federal Executive
Council meeting insisted that those who have
reasons to believe that the schools should not re-
open on that date should forward same to the
federal government.
The Nigerian Medical Association as well as other
professional bodies have called for the extension of
the resumption date for Primary and Secondary
schools pending when the country completely exits
from the Ebola Virus Disease.
But speaking after briefing the Federal Executive
Council on the latest situation on Ebola in the
country, Professor Chukwu said those calling for the
extension of the schools resumption date were
being driven by “irrational Fears”.
He said unlike other countries where the
transmission of Ebola is through community
contact, Nigeria’s case was different and there was
no cause for worry.

Blessed be the heart who hammered that decision to bring the wards back to school.to.I see no reason in keeping the children who are yet to withstand world averege education standard at home when theyare surpose to be learning because of a desease they can equally contact on their domestic playing ground,in the commercial bus or from their parents who could contact it on their strugle to make up a home.
