Rivers Govt Asks Schools To Reopen January 4

 

 

 

The Rivers State Government has asked all public and private nursery, primary and secondary schools to reopen in the state from January 4.

This was contained in a press statement by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr Chidi Adiele.

The statement read, “The Rivers Education Ministry wishes to announce that, with the approval of Gov. Nyesom Wike, the school calendar published in August 2020 stands.

“Accordingly, both public and private schools in the state are hereby reminded that schools will resume on January 4, 2021, for normal academic activities.

“Schools are to maintain all COVID-19 protocols, including the wearing of face masks, use of hand sanitiser, and staggered classes.

“The classes are expected to be staggered morning and afternoon sessions in order to avoid overcrowding.”

Recall that earlier, the Federal Government had instructed schools to reopen from January 18, 2021, in a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
