The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) has appealed to the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai to re-open private and public schools in the state.
This was disclosed today in a statement jointly signed by the General Secretary of the Association, Mallam Ja’afaru Yusuf, and the Chairman, Mr Iorhena Philip Terfa.
The statement read, “We are concerned on the adverse effects that the continuous lockdown of schools will have on the learners and the society.”
“We want to inform the general public and the government that our schools are fully ready for resumption as we used the WAEC exam as a litmus test and it ended without any record of infection or COVID-19 case.”
“We wish to congratulate the Governor and the entire NAPPS members on the occasion of our NAPPS day, 12th October 2020, and also our parents for the untiring support particularly in the provision of e-learning during the lockdown.”
The statement continued, “To this end, we are assuring the Government and the general public that as we build on the successful completion of the WAEC and BECE examination, the success will be great.”
“We also observed that most states that have re-opened have no better preparedness than Kaduna State.”
“Our Prayer: Let a specific date be announced to make our preparations more effective, as this will heal both students and schools physically and psychologically”, the statement added.
