Ebola: NUT asks teachers to ignore Sept. 22nd resumption date


The National Union of Teachers (NUT) has again kicked against the September 22, 2014,  resumption  date for primary and secondary schools in the country, arguing  that  the government is yet to put the necessary equipment in schools to prevent the spread of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).

The body also directed all its members nationwide to stay away from schools until conviction "beyond reasonable doubt" that the government has provided all preventive and protective gadgets such as infra-red thermometers, sanitizers, running water, gloves and teachers adequately trained.
Addressing newsmen at a press briefing in Abuja Tuesday, the National President of the NUT, Dr. Michael Alogba Olukoya said only a few states have trained any teachers on the EVD.
