The Rivers Government on Monday warned that it would shut down any primary or secondary school without pipe borne water.
Alice Nemi, the State Commissioner for Education, gave the warning in Port Harcourt during a sensitization workshop for teachers in the state on Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
We learnt that the workshop was jointly organised by the state ministries of education and health for teachers in public and private schools.
The commissioner said that potable water would ensure that the teachers, pupils and students washed their hands regularly with soap.
Nemi, however, did not say when inspection of the schools would start to know schools without the facility.
LoggTV also learnt that regular hand washing and avoidance of body contact are essential to prevent the spread of Ebola virus.
