From July thus year when the president last addressed the nation on the same, a number of communications fed the eager ears of the listeners and these included;

1. Post – secondary schools(universities and other higher learning institutions) reopening 1st of November 2021 with the condition that Teachers, non teaching stuff and students above 18 years of age will be vaccinated with effect.
2. The rest of the learning institutions i.e. secondary and primary schools to open January 2022 as estimated numbers of students, teachers and non teaching stuff will be vaccinated by then.
