The College of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU) has said that its members are not ready to return to school anytime soon except the Federal Government upgrades institutions for conducive learning.

The president of COEASU, Nuhu Ogirima, made this known to PREMIUM TIMES in an interview on Wednesday.

The union’s position comes a day after the Academic Staff of Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) corroborated the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) stance that there are no provisions to meet COVID-19 precautionary guidelines in universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.

Mr Ogirima told our correspondent that the Federal Government is yet to put the necessary facilities in place for resumption to take place.

“There are lots of things to be put in place. Many colleges of education do not even have enough chairs for social distancing. We’ve been in a crisis because of the neglect of the education sector by the government.”

The importance of keeping our toilets clean cannot be overlooked. We make use of the toilet daily and it will be a very odd thing to relent in keeping it's environment clean and safe from any possible stain or odour. It is also important for you to note that no matter how dirty your toilet is, never mix these two things to wash your toilet, it can kill;

 

1. Never mix bleach with any detergent

 

Bleach no doubt is a good cleaning agent and one of its dangers involves what happens whenever you mix it with other household chemicals like toilets washers, glass sprays, etc.

 

Bleach contains sodium hypochlorite and when combined with any detergent can cause the release of a dangerous gas known as Chlorine gas.

 

Chlorine gas can cause chemical pneumonitis, a condition identified by coughing, difficulty in breathing, the feeling of not being able to get enough air, and chest burn. It can also cause ear, nose, and throat irritation, and repeated exposures can lead to inflammation and lung stiffness, causing respiratory failure and possibly death.

 

So it is not advisable to mix your toilet bleach with any of these detergents and even if you must, a nose mask is preferable and would protect you from inhaling this dangerous gas that can distort your breathing process. Your health should come first, do not risk it!
