The Ogun state government has called for an increased and sustained sensitization amongst teachers and pupils on the Ebola Virus Disease, as pupils in public primary and secondary resume for the 2014/2015 academic session.
This call was made by the state Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr. Segun Odubela while representing Governor Ibikunle Amosun at a one day health workshop organised by the Ogun state chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, (NUT)
The teachers where drawn from public primary and secondary schools in the twenty Local Government Areas of Ogun state, to be a part of the health talk on the Ebola Virus Disease in order to protect themselves and the pupils in their care at their various schools.
Although teachers were taken on what they need to know about the Ebola virus, but the occasion however provided another opportunity for them to make some demands which they asked the government to as a matter of urgency.
