All primary and secondary schools in Enugu state will reopen for 3rd term academic activities on Monday, September 28, 2020.
The Commissioner for Education, Professor Uche Eze, who announced this in a statement, said the decision was reached following the Enugu State Education sector stakeholders’ consensus and approval by the Governor.

He added that teachers/students/pupils are therefore requested to ensure that they abide by the approved guidelines on COVID-19, stressing that no person will be allowed into any school without appropriate facemask/shield.
According to the Commissioner, strong monitoring teams at state and Local Government Areas have been constituted to monitor compliance with the approved guidelines for the safety of all that operate in schools in the State.
