School Reopening: Private Universities Might Resume Before Public Ones - NUC by Teebro(m): 3:22pm On Aug 05, 2020
The Federal Government of Nigeria ordered the abrupt closure of tertiary institutions, secondary schools as well as primary schools in March to contain the spread of coronavirus.


Though there had been a two-week warning strike by lecturers under the aegis of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) from March 9 to March 23 before the general shut down of schools. ASUU is embarking on the strike over the non-payment of salaries of their members who failed to enrol into the federal government’s IPPIS, a payroll software mandated for all public officials.


ASUU passed a statement recently, stating that even if the FG declares a general reopening of schools, public universities would not resume until the union's demands are furnished.


On Tuesday, the National Universities Commission (NUC) said it is obtaining data from universities to examine their readiness for resumption of academic activities.


The commission also states that efforts are ongoing to resolve the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) that threatens to further delay the resumption of academic activities in the universities.


The Executive Secretary of NUC, Abubakar Rasheed said this during a press conference on the contributions of Nigerian universities to the national response to COVID-19 in Abuja on Tuesday.


Mr Adamu, who was represented at the event by the deputy executive secretary Academics, Suleiman Yusuf, said the Commission is working with universities to discuss preparation that should be in place before reopening.


According to him, universities that are not under ASUU watch can go back to classes once they have put the necessary guidelines in place.


“We gave a template to vice-chancellors of all universities requesting them to suggest to us what kind of protocols and strategies they are putting in place in the various institutions. We are collecting some of the responses which have already started coming in and at the end of the day the picture should emerge about the extent to which our universities are prepared to reopen for academic activities,” he said.
