Sequel to circular by Adamawa State Ministry of Education directing for closure of schools in state, the Chairman Nigeria Union Of Teachers (NU) state chapter, Comrade Rodney Nathan has urged on Principals and Head Teachers of both private and public schools to strictly abide by the circular and close down schools as a preventive measure against the disease.
Comrade Rodney further called on the Association of Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) and Association of Primary School Head Teachers of Nigeria (AOPTION) to work towards ensuring strict compliance with the directives.
It could recalled that the ministry in a circular dated 18th March, 2020 and signed by S. Ahmadu for Honourable Commissioner, directed both public and private schools to quickly round up their activities and shut down schools on 27th March, 2020.
A statement issued by the Chairman of the Union in the state, Comrade Rodney Nathan said that the circular by the ministry of education is timely in view of the spread of the disease across the globe which so far affected people across 100 countries around the world.
He further appealed to all teachers to strictly abide by the circular issued by the government directing for the closure of the schools as a preventative measures against the spread of the Corona virus pandemic in the country.
The most worrisome, according to him is the increasing number of contacts in Lagos and its possibility of getting across to the northern part of the country.
In furtherance to proactive measures, he disclosed that the NUT on its part will convene an emergency meeting with all the affiliate unions to take cogent preventative measures against the killer disease.
