The Nigerian government has said no decision has been taken
on the reopening of tertiary institutions in the country.
Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, the Minister of State for Education
disclosed this during the daily briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on
COVID-19 in Abuja.
Nwajiuba, however, said universities would need to get
clearance and procedures from the National Universities Commission (NUC) before
reopening.
The minister also disclosed that the government was
reviewing the guidelines regarding the reopening of universities across the
country.
“But at the tertiary level, that guidance will also be done
in collaboration with the National Universities Commission so that it will give
clearance that we are satisfied with your performance with regards to the
guideline.
“What we are doing is that we are reducing this whole gamut
of documents into some measurable steps towards reopening. What that means is
that the governing council of each institution will then review the guideline
and benchmark it,” he said.
