The Federal Government has ordered Unity schools across the country to fully reopen by October 12, 2020. The announcement was made after about six months of stemming and preventing the spread of Covid-19, which of course led to the closure of all schools.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, during a press briefing in Abuja on Friday, according to the personal assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad.

All state and private schools are to work out their modalities to reopen their schools. All unity schools (Federal Government Colleges) should open by October 12. I’m glad to report that there has not been any single case of COVID-19 in all Unity Schools. No single fatality among the students.”
