The
Nigerian government announced the move in a bid to ensure that the Ebola virus
does not spread
The Federal Government has mandated that all primary and
secondary schools in Nigeria should remain shut until further notice.
The
government stated that this was necessary to ensure that there is no further
outbreak of the Ebola
Viral Disease (EVD). The
move was announced by the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Youth and Students Matters, Comrade Jude
Imagwe.
The
amount of time that the students would spend at home was not specified but it
was stated that they would be on holiday until the country found a way to stop
the current outbreak.
Nigeria
has now recorded 11 cases of the disease, the first being Liberian-American, Patrick Sawyer
who brought it into the country.
