The Federal Capital Administration, FCTA has ordered the closure of faculties within the FCT effective Friday 20th, 2020.
The move won't be unconnected with the recent confirmation of 12 cases of coronavirus in Nigeria and ongoing rumours of the virus within the FCT.
The Special Assistant to the FCT Minister, Mr Austine Elemue, gave the indication after a gathering on Thursday.
The shut down of schools he said is preventive measure taken to avoid the spread of the virus which has affected 27 African countries and killed over 6,500 people.
Mr Elemue said students are not expected to be in school from Monday the 23rd.
He advised schools that can get the information across to their students to order students to stay home after today.
