Fact Check: Are Tertiary Institutions Really Resuming? ( Read Details)

In response to news going round on social media on  resumption of all tertiary institutions in Nigeria,  the Federal Ministry of Education has however debunked the rumour as fake news

This was contained in a circular sent to SalientReporters and signed by Permanent Secretary,  Sonny S. T Echono. The circular reads as follow:

- Further to our earlier Circular with Ref No. FME/PSE/HE/104/C1/Vol./137 of 19th March, 2020,  this is to confirm that all schools shall remain closed as we closely monitor development on the containment of Covid-19.

- This without prejudice to officers on essential services and other operational exigencies as may be determined by the Chief Executive of each organization

- All Chief Executives and other stakeholders are to ignore fake news on the subject matter in the social media as the situation is under constant review and any decision on resumption shall be conveyed through the appropriate channels

- Please notify all institutions under your supervisors for compliance.
