WASSCE 2020: Atiku Commends FG for Fixing New Date for School Reopening

Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has commended the Federal Government’s decision to reopen schools by September 2020.

While disclosing this on his Facebook page on Saturday July 18, 2020, Atiku said he was elated at the decision taken the government to reopen schools.

The FG on Friday provided some specific guidelines for reopening of schools in the country.

The guidelines announced by the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, on Friday cover four thematic areas.

The Minister reported that govt had consulted widely and had decided that schools will reopen on September 5.

The ex VP, who had earlier faulted the withdrawal of Nigeria from the terminal examination, described the FG’s decision as a welcome development.

Atiku warned that the cancellation of WAEC would put Nigeria at risk.

“I am elated at reports that Nigerian Govt and WAEC have resolved to shift the date of examinations to September 5, 2020,” Atiku wrote.
