Culled from Punch Nigeria
WITH suspected new cases of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease popping up here and there, the Federal Government’s decision to fix school resumption date across the country for September 22 is short-sighted and wrong-headed.

But even if we leave aside the public interest, it is not the duty of the central government to decide for states resumption schedules for their schools.
