Schools and institutions in Nigeria may not be able to control this dreaded virus, if it should attack any institution, in a situation where we have at least four occupants per room in our hostels; it is obvious that there would be a wider and fast spread of the virus.‘‘Our school’s medical facilities cannot contain, control nor guarantee effective measures to stop the spread on campus, we hereby advice that all hands must be on deck for the space of one month, while we all give the Federal government maximum support in the fight against COVID-19 outbreak in our country’’.The body implore students to avoid crowded environment, avoid handshake, use of nose mask regularly, to get pocket sanitizer, wear hand glove regularly, avoid overdose of chloroquine and alcohol consumption.
