#Ebola: Lagos teachers vow not to resume Monday


The Nigeria Union of Teachers on Saturday warned the Lagos State Government against coercing its members to resume for the 2014/2015 academic session on Monday.
The warning came as the union alleged that the state government had not....
provided any Ebola Virus Disease kit in schools in the state.
The state NUT Chairman, Mr. Segun Raheem, made this known. Raheem, who insisted that members of the union would not resume until the EVD facilities were in place in schools, noted that the state government had resorted to intimidation to force them to resume on Monday.
According to him, the state government has summoned all public school heads to Alausa, Ikeja for an emergency meeting on Sunday (today).

However, the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools in the South-West met on Saturday in Ibadan, Oyo State and resolved that its members in Lagos and Ondo states would resume on Monday.
According to him, NAPPS members in the zone have not only provided the EVD kits, they have also trained their teachers on the basic rudiments of checking the virus.
Otubela, while decrying the position of the Lagos NUT on resumption date, noted that the state government had declared the state Ebola-free.

Share your thoughts....thanks!
