The All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools on
Thursday rejected the September 22 resumption date announced by the Federal
Government.
The National Secretary
of ANCONPPS, 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 sanitisers 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.’’
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) had earlier on rejected the resumption date too.It based its argument on the fact that all necessary infrastructure has not been put in place to secure the schools for resumption
