The Nigerian government has ordered that school be closed to resume January 18, 2021.

The chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) Mr Boss Mustapha, made this known at a briefing on Monday, 21 December.

As we are aware that most school in Nigeria are already closed for the year but most school have scheduled the first and second week in January 2021 for resumption dates. 

Mr Mustapha however said the decision to move the date farther is based on advice from the Federal Ministry of Education as part of measures to control the spread of the virus.
