The federal government has directed the reopening of
Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education in the country.

Universities Commission (NUC), National Commission for Colleges of Education
(NCCE) and National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) have also directed
tertiary institutions to reopen.
The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, who addressed
a press conference in Abuja, said the decision to reopen schools was sequel to
review of COVID-19 situation in Nigeria, with the number of infections
declining.
“We have consulted widely with stakeholders in the sector
including the Association of Private Schools (NAPPS), Provosts of Colleges of
Education, Rectors of Polytechnics, Vice-Chancellors of Universities, State
Governors, Commissioners of Education and development partners,” Adamu said.
Adamu had also confirmed all unity schools will open by
