Abia Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has approved the resumption of all public and private nursery, primary and secondary schools for the second term of 2020/2021 academic session for Monday, 1st March 2021.

A statement by Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Barr. Chris Ezem said that the second term would end on Friday, 7th May 2021.

It further added all school heads and proprietors must ensure that COVID-19 guidelines and protocols are strictly observed in their schools.

But there are doubts teachers in public schools may not resume classrooms if government fails to pay their salary arrears, which they have been agitating for since January. (The Nation)

Buhari blames rich, influential people for Nigeria’s security problems

President Muhammadu Buhari has attributed the upheavals in some parts of the country to a few people with resources and influence, assuring that they will be identified and dealt with in due course.

He spoke on Tuesday in Abuja while receiving a delegation of Borno/Yobe Elders Forum on a courtesy call.

A statement issued by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity) quoted him as saying: “We need this country. We will continue to work for its stability. I feel that whatever happens, we will continue to make it, and will keep on praying to God so that for those who feel that they don’t need Nigeria, we will succeed over their intentions and actions.

“I am confident that we will eventually convince the small number of people with resource and influence that are a nuisance to this great country. God willing, we will identify them and deal with them. I am extremely concerned about your constituency like the rest of the country.”

The president said that the stability of the country is of paramount interest to him and Federal Government will continue to work towards it despite the actions of a few people.

He noted the request for the upgrade and development of infrastructure in the states and assured that while he would do his best in acceding to the requests, he would however, prioritise development in education.

“We are aware of the infrastructure deficit. Our priorities will be education because all our citizens know that children within a certain age must receive it otherwise if they miss it, the future is destroyed,” he said.

In his remarks, Professor Babagana Zulum, Governor of Borno State, said the leaders were in Abuja to thank the president for the tremendous improvement in their states and to intimate him with some of the prevailing socio-economic conditions. (Nigerian Tribune)
