“I am pleased to announce that our tertiary institutions will be allowed to reopen from September 14, 2020, all our tertiary institutions,” he said during a briefing on Saturday at the State House, Marina.
According to him, primary and secondary schools in the state would also reopen from September 21, 2020 for the resumption of academic activities.
“As regards our primary and secondary schools, we are working towards reopening them around the 21st of September 2020. This position is not cast in stone and subject to a review of our ongoing monitoring and procedures from the Ministry of Health,” he said.
The decision to reopen is based on how the Covid-19 infection curve is flattening after peaking in August
