Doctors Against FG’s Decision To Resume Schools September 22

The  Nigerian Medical Association on Monday, September 8, 2014 rejected the Federal Government's orders to schools to resume on September 22 as against the October 12 resumption date.

"We are not happy with this decision on the resumption of schools. Schools should be shut till the last suspected case or patient is certified free of the virus," the NMA said.

The NMA suggested that the resumption date should be shifted to December or next year because if the virus should spread to any school, it would take a different dimension.

It said, " We can shift the resumption date till next year or in the next three months if that is the time it will take. Government should have enough time to follow the standard procedure for containing  the virus.

"Parents have no reason to be  in a hurry because if Ebola should enter any school, it will assume another dimension. Children cannot survive isolation like adults.

He would surely get them into trouble. By the time he got out of the hostel, the boys had disappeared into the night. He looked at the direction of the cathedral and could not see a shadow. He looked the way that led to Mr. Jacob's house. The trees that trellised the way uphill to the house stood like giant ghosts.
