Taraba State University in Jalingo and other tertiary institutions have been granted approval by the state government to reopen.
The state’s Commissioner for Information and Re-orientation, Danjuma Adamu, disclosed this at a news conference in Jalingo on Friday.
He said that the schools will reopen at the end of October.
His words, “The actual date for their resumption will be announced soon by the state Ministry of Tertiary Education.
“The approval covers the State University, Jalingo, the State Polytechnic, Suntai, College of Education, Zing and all private tertiary institutions in the state.”
Adamu said that the approval did not cover the College of Agriculture, Jalingo; School of Health Technology, Takum and the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Jalingo.
“This is because they are not under the Ministry of Tertiary Education and the approval for their reopening will come from their various ministries,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the approval came two weeks after the reopening of primary and secondary schools in the state.
