Ebola: Plateau State Govt begins distribution of Ebola test kit to schools

The Plateau Government said it would begin the distribution of Ebola test kit to all schools in the state on Wednesday.

Dr. Fom Dakwak, the state Commissioner for Health, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Pankshin, Plateau, that the kit purchased by the government had arrived.

He said that the distribution became necessary because the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Plateau chapter, had insisted that schools would not resume until the kit were provided.

The union, through its Chairman, Mr Gunshin Yarlings, had directed teachers not to comply with the Sept. 22 resumption date issued by the Federal Government until the kit were provided in all the schools.

Teachers in the Plateau central and southern zones, who showed up in schools on Monday, were chased away by union officials.

Mr Leestock Edward, Chairman, NUT Pankshin Local Government branch, said, “We have to ensure that all schools remain closed until the health kit to test pupils and students are provided in the schools.”
