COVID 19: Schools resumption date remains Jan 18 - PTF National Coordinator, Aliyu Sani says

By Oladeinde Ezekiel

The National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID19, Dr. Sani Aliyu, says the date for school resumption remains January 18 and will only change after a review by the Federal government.

Recall that on Monday, January 11, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, said following the second wave of COVID19, the Federal Government would review the January 18 earlier date fixed for resumption of schools across Nigeria. 

Many interpreted this to mean the date for resumption has been shifted.

However, in an interview with TVC today January 12, 2020 Dr. Aliyu said the date for resumption has not been changed.
