Mr.
Oluwole Awolusi, President All Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary
School (ANCOPSS)

The
Punch reports that All Nigerian Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools
(ANCOPPS) on Thursday rejected the September 22 resumption date announced by
the Federal Government.
In
a telephone interview with Punch correspondent, the National Secretary of ANCOPPS,
Mr. Kevin Nwankwo, said there was no evidence of any preventive measures
already taken by the states to curb the spread of the Ebola Virus Disease,
hence he asked the Federal Government to rescind its decision on the announced
date.
He
said, “Our position is not different from the position of the Nigeria Union of
Teachers. We need to take cognisance of the observation of the Nigeria Medical
Association, saying that government was under pressure.
“As at yesterday, there was
nothing to show that teachers are being trained. I am not aware of sanitizers
or training in any school yet. The slated date for the teachers’ training is
today (Thursday) but as at yesterday (Wednesday), there was nothing to show
that anything would happen. There is simply nothing to show that we are ready
to reopen schools yet.’’
