The Federal Government has put on hold the planned resumption of federal schools.
It has also stopped students from participating in the West African
Senior School Certificate Examinations earlier scheduled for August 4 to
September 5.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, disclosed this to State House
Correspondents at the end of a meeting of the Federal Executive Council
presided over by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The minister said federal schools would remain closed until it is safe to reopen them.
He also urged state governments that have announced school resumption plans to rescind such.
Adamu stated that the West African Examinations Council cannot determine the resumption date of schools for Nigeria.
