“Principals and management teams of public-owned schools must ensure full compliance with the guidelines. In private schools, the compliance level is near one hundred per cent. While most government schools are doing well, few are not serious at all.

“What we all saw today at Junior Secondary School Kubwa 3 is quite disheartening.

“Principals and their management team in all government schools must do the needful,” he said.

He also advised the students, to adhere to the COVID-19 guidelines and study hard as the examinations are just days away.
