Coordinator of the Covid-19 Presidential Taskforce, Sani Aliyu, said so during the press briefing on Thursday.
“We have advised the National Youth Service Corps to start planning ahead of resumption in future phases, but not within this current phase of the response.
“We will work closely with them to design policies that may allow this to happen in the future,” he said.
NYSC has extended registration for 2020 Batch ‘A’ Stream II.
“This is to inform 2020 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Prospective Corps Members that Online Registration has been extended to Tuesday 11th August, 2020,” NYSC disclosed on its Facebook page, today, Thursday.
Furthermore, Aliyu maintained that only exitting classes (primary 6, JSS 3 and SS3), primary and nursery schools have been approved to resume while other classes and tertiary institutions remained closed.
“All day care and primary schools are to remain closed till further evacuation, however, while primary schools must remain closed, registered pupil may proceed to take the national common entrance as soon as it is feasible.
“For secondary and Tertiary Institutions, just to clarify, these remains closed; however, we have made arrangements for exitting classes in their final years of schools to resume and partake in examination in line with guidelines,” he said.
