The Federal Government yesterday Wednesday September 3rd, made it known that the resumption of primary and secondary schools across which was ealier delayed till October 13th, because of the Ebola Virus, has now been reversed to mid September.
Speaking with News Men after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided by President Goodluck Jonathan, the honourable Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, revealed that schools resumption date might be moved back to September. He stressed that experts' opinion had indicated that "students could safely resume from mid-September."
The minister further revealed that the specific resumption date will be announced after a meeting between the Minister of Education, states' Commissioners of Education and other stakeholders involved in the earlier postponement of the resumption date to October 13th. Concerning this, he said;
"The Minister of Education was directed by council to convene an emergency meeting with all states commissioners of Education in order to agree on when schools can resume nationwide."
The Minister also gave a report on the Ebola Virus Disease outbreak in Nigeria, reporting. That there were currently 296 contacts under surveillance in the country, but denying.that 60 Ebola contacts were missing in Port Harcourt. He continued by saying the 296 contacts were actually under surveillance in the entire country, 255 of them were in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and the remaining 41 in Lagos State. He also added that explained that the rumoured outbreak of the disease in Abuja and Calabar are false, and that Enugu was completely free from the disease. This was because the nurse who initially escaped surveillance in Lagos to meet her husband in Enugu had also tested negative to the disease.
He said the member of ECOWAS staff, Olu-Ibukun Koye, who jumped surveillance and took the virus to Port Harcourt, had developed strong anti-bodies against the virus and as such could not infect others with it.
He said it could not yet be determined if Koye would be prosecuted or not.
In addition contrary to what several news agencies are reporting, the widow of Dr Enemuo is not dead, but rather she is still at the Ebola Isolation ward in Lagos.

His father was tall and hefty and threw any contester to the ground. Tanko's father was well respected for his strength and the man was a very gentle and humble man but Tanko was the opposite of his father. He was weak, troublesome and very mischievous. Had he not had a striking facial resemblance with his father, as well as his height, his paternity would have been in doubt. Bawa was the son of the village tobacco merchant. His father was short and fat and very tricky. He had a reputation for cheating people. He was also a money lender who demanded very high interest. Bawa was a replica of his father in every way, in appearance and character except that Bawa was more considerate. He could take pity on others itcr hoodwinking them. Garba did not like him much "Really?" Sule asked. "I hope it will be all right if I go with you." "You don't have to," Bawa said. "You know if he takes more than expected, the master would know he took his milk." "It's not bad if we shared whatever Yakubu gives us with our fellows," Tanko said. "Garba can even get from it," Sule said. Bawa made a face. "Look at you, Sule, you have......
