Cross River government defers partial resumption of schools

“The face masks and shields will be distributed in phases and there is need to fumigate the schools before they resume.”

Governor Ben Ayade and Commissioner for Education, Godwin Amanke had last week announced that experimental resumption of schools would commence on June 16 and students’ protective gears, including face shields and Personal Protective Equipment overalls, would be deployed to schools free of charge for students, as they resume academic activities.

As at 7 am, a large number of students had resumed at WAPI after the state government distributed face masks and shields to a few of the students, while others had to use their own devices or handkerchiefs, but the classrooms were not opened. However, the state government had promised that with the engagement of Indians, there would be massive production and distribution of PPEs to schools for free.

Some of the students at WAPI said they were frustrated, adding, “We don’t have COVID-19 in Cross River, so government should ensure that we resume school.”
