NUT- Rivers, Benue, Lagos, Ekiti, Oyo and 6 Others Resume School Today

Schools in at least 11 states of the country are set to resume a new academic session today (Wednesday) after a forced holiday occasioned by the Ebola Virus Disease outbreak.

The states which had earlier shunned the September 22 resumption date announced by the Federal Government, picked October 8, as a more realistic resumption date to enable them to put in place the logistics required to prevent the spread of the Ebola Virus Disease and also observe the Eid-el-Kabir holiday.

Some of the states commencing academic activities today include Rivers, Benue, Lagos, Ekiti and Oyo.

Others are Kano, Kogi, Akwa -Ibom, Ebonyi, Ogun and Kwara states.

However, some states such as Niger, Zamfara and Adamawa, will resume on October 13.
