“In Lagos State, most of these precautionary measures are not in place, thereby putting the lives of children at risk, who in the first instance, are the most vulnerable.
“In view of this, the national body of the union has directed teachers in the states that do not comply with these safety measures to stay away from work,” Raheem said.
Pastor Rufus Famuwagun, South-West Zonal Coordinator, National Association of Parents and Teachers of Federal Unity Colleges, told NAN that there was the need for effective and constant monitoring of the schools.
According to him, government and other major stakeholders have been working together to ensure the safety of the children on resumption.
“I am in support of the resumption because I know that government, in collaboration with the various PTAs of these schools, has put up a lot of measures in place to check the disease.
“Right now, if you visit most of the Unity schools, you will discover lots of gadgets to check the temperature of the children and many other things.
“There have been, also, efforts to ensure constant water supply, wash-hand basins, sanitisers, as well as constant sensitisation of all the children and staff of every college.
“I think with all these on ground, constant monitoring and supervision, and with God on our side, we will have a safe landing, and our environment totally free of Ebola,” he said.
