The federal government has directed the reopening of Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education in the country.
Tertiary institution regulatory agencies like the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), and National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) have also directed tertiary institutions to reopen.
The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, disclosed this while addressing a press conference in Abuja.
Malam Adamu said the decision to reopen schools was a sequel to a review of COVID-19 situation in Nigeria, with the number of infections declining.
“We have consulted widely with stakeholders in the sector including the Association of Private Schools (NAPPS), Provosts of Colleges of Education, Rectors of Polytechnics, Vice-Chancellors of Universities, State Governors, Commissioners of Education and development partners,” Adamu said.
The minister had also confirmed all unity schools will open by October 12.
