He said while government looks forward to easing the lockdown which will ultimately lead to re-opening of campuses, the Heads of Institutions should commence preparations.
The minister told them not to wait till the announcement on reopening before putting in place all measures in compliance with the protocols and advisories of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)”.
Nwajiuba said all institutions must have hand-washing facilities; body temperature checks and body disinfectants at all entering points including the gates, hostels, classes, offices, etc.
He stated that the premises of each institution “must be decontaminated”.
The minister directed that all efforts “must be geared towards maintenance of the highest level of hygiene”.
Schools must ensure “physical distancing in class sizes and meeting spaces”.
He commended institutions that responded promptly with different innovations, “including the manufacturing of some of the facilities that are required to attend to the COVID-19 pandemic”.
