#Ebola: Rivers to sanction schools which open before October 6

by Tony Tamuno

The Rivers State Government said on Monday that any school that reopened before October 6 will be sanctioned.

Mr Michael West, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, announced this at a press conference in Port Harcourt, saying that the state government decided to reopen schools on that day to ensure that measures were put in place against the spread of Ebola Virus Disease.

West also said that schools were required to provide water and ensure cleaner environment for their pupils and students before resumption of classes.

On his part, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Sampson Parker, said that more than 200 persons in the state were under surveillance.

“The surveillance days will expire today, Sept. 22, and it is necessary to watch them for some time before Oct. 6.

“The ministries of health and education met and arrived on the Oct. 6 date for schools to reopen and we believe the date is okay,” he said.
