Federal Government has approved the extension of the current
holiday for Primary and Secondary schools as part of measures to curtail the
spread of the Ebola. The development, government stated, is part of measures to
curb the spread of Ebola. Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Youth and Students Matters, Comrade Jude Imagwe,
who disclosed the postponement of school resumption in Abuja on Wednesday did
not state how long the students would be on holiday.
He said that President Goodluck Jonathan was wary of the
danger of the disease to the nation’s future generation and as a result ordered
that the schools remained on holiday till the country finds a way out of the
outbreak.
"He advised that as a President, he did not desire that our
secondary and primary schools should be opened at this time because we have
high population of young brothers and sisters who want to see themselves grow
from primary and graduate tomorrow.
"We cannot have what it takes to have eye on each of these brothers and sisters: the future of this country in their classes," he said.
