COVID-19: FG makes moves to Disinfect Schools across the Federation.

In an effort to ensure further safety for school children upon resumption, the FG has announced intentions to disinfect schools across the federation.

This was disclosed by the Minister of Environment, Muhammad Mahmood, at the Presidential Task Force briefing on COVID-19 on Monday, 4th May, 2020 in Abuja.

He informed that the ministry would retrieve the data of schools nationwide from the Federal Ministry of Education.

Mr. Mahmood stated, “We are initiating a programme of decontaminating and disinfecting our schools before they open.

“Because, subsequently in the phases (of easing the lockdown), I believe we will get to that point when we start opening the schools.

“So, we will be liaising with the Federal Ministry of Education to make sure we have the needed data to carry out the exercise.”

The minister noted that efforts are in place to ensure the commencement of the exercise across the federation as soon as possible.

“Today we will like to brief you on our first video conference with our Environmental Health Sanitation desks across the country, the 36 states plus the FCT.

“Also in attendance was a representative of the World Health Organisation, the purpose of which is to build additional capacity and to reiterate adherence to the guidelines in this response to COVID-19,” he added.
