#EbolaVirus : NHRC Insists On Oct.13 Resumption For All Schools.

In a bid to withhold the wide spread of the Ebola virus disease, Liveschool News reports that the National Human Rights Commission has said it will ensure that appropriate punishment is imposed on persons, particularly private school proprietors, who flout the Federal Government’s directive that schools should remain shut till October 13.

The NHRC said flouting the directive by government, which was aimed at preventing a further spread of the Ebola Virus Disease, would be viewed as “a violation of peoples’ rights” which the commission had the mandate to protect.

Executive Secretary of the NHRC, Prof. Bem Angwe, issued this threat in Abuja on Wednesday, during an awareness programme it organized on ‘the rights of People Living with HIV/AIDS’.
