She said the constant visits to the schools were to underscore the importance of keeping the children and staff safe as the current statistics showed the second wave of the virus was deadly.

In a statement signed by the Assistant Director, Information of the Secretariat, Kabiru Musa, Mrs Uzoanya warned that schools which flouted the safety protocols would be sanctioned.

The schools visited are Government Secondary School (GSS), Gwarimpa; Regent Secondary School, Mabushi; and Nigeria-Ghana School, JSS and LEA Primary School; all in Jabi.
