\"Kano<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Kano State Government has moved to clear the air on its alleged move to approve the reopening of schools in the state amid the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state\u2019s education ministry in a statement issued on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary, Malam Aliyu Yusuf, refuted reports claiming that it was considering the reopening of schools in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yusuf described the reports which alleged that the government had set up a committee to consider the reopening of the schools closed down after the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic as \u201cfake news\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said; \u201cKano State, like other states, received a document from the Federal Ministry of Education containing proposed guidelines to be put in place whenever it is appropriate to re-open schools, which we were asked to review and give our input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was in the course of the review of the documents that the Ministry of Education constituted an Ad-hoc Committee to undertake the assignment. Its input will be transmitted back to the federal education ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ministry also wishes to debunk a widely circulated rumor that a directive was issued to private schools to suspend online lessons for their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis news is equally untrue as even the state government is conducting similar programs through radio and television stations,\u201d Yusuf concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
