The Lagos state Government has thrown its weight behind the September 22nd resumption date given to both public and private schools by the Federal government amid widespread calls that the date should be moved.

In a statement issued Friday by the Special Adviser to the state governor on Media, Lateef Raji, the state government directed all schools to resume on September 22 in compliance with the Federal Government’s directive; a call which has been greeted with protests from both Nigeria’s Medical Association and some schools across the country. 

On Wednesday, Nigeria’s Health Minister, Onyebuchi Chukwu said the country had no patient of the Ebola virus disease at its treatment centers in Lagos and P.H.

But irrespective of his announcement, some Nigerians have called for schools to resume when the country was declared entirely free of the Ebola virus.
