The All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary
Schools on Thursday rejected the September 22 resumption date announced by the
Federal Government.
In a telephone interview with PUNCH , 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.’’
