Response Magic 
As you may have heard, the Federal Government of Nigeria has ordered Schools to resume the first term of the 2014/2015 Academic Session by Monday the 22nd of September 2014.
You would remember that most Schools were billed to resume by the 8th of September but because of the Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) which was trending in the Country then, the Government decided to shift the resumption date to allow for the "containment" of the virus and the disease.
However, the Minister of Health has announced that there is not a single case of ebola virus in the Country right now even though there are still persons who had contacts with EVD patients and are being monitored.
There are various levels of opposition to the announced resumption date.
Some groups have cited the fact that it is not yet 30 days after the death of the Medical Doctor - Dr. Iyke Enemuo in Port Harcourt and thus argue that time should be given to see if any of the contacts he made would come down with the disease.
Some others argue that most Schools do not have good conveniences and it would be difficult to monitor the Students and Pupils to ensure that they observe the basic rules of hygiene
And yet some others argue that the facilities in most Schools are not enough to protect the Students/Pupils from contracting the dreaded virus should there be an epidemic.
The Teachers in most Schools have opposed the resumption date of 22nd of September, even the Nigerian Medical Association has advised that Government makes haste slowly.
What is your own opinion on this matter?
Considering the scourge of ebola virus, the fact that it has no known cure yet, the fact that there is no vaccine right now to check mate its spread, do you think that Schools should resume on the 22nd of September 2014?
