Enugu To Reopen Primary, Secondary Schools September 28

The Enugu State government, Wednesday, announced the phased re-opening of all primary and secondary schools in the state.

A statement made available to THE WHISTLER in Enugu stated that the third-term academic activities would begin on Monday, September 28, 2020.

The release, signed by the state commissioner for education, Prof Uche Eze, said the decision was reached following the Enugu State education sector stakeholders’ consensus, which was approved by Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Eze said all necessary measures had been put in place in schools for safe re-opening.

According to him, “Teachers/students/pupils are therefore requested to ensure that they abide by the approved guidelines on COVID-19. No person will be allowed into any school without appropriate facemask/shields. Strong monitoring teams at state and local government areas have been constituted to monitor compliance with the approved guidelines for the safety of all that operate in our schools.”

He further noted that ‘primary six and junior secondary three students have completed their examinations and are not expected to be back to school’.
