Oyo Schools Ignore Government’s Directive To Reopen


Public Schools in Oyo State have remained shut in spite of the state government’s directive to reopen on Monday (today).


Newsmen who went round Ibadan observed that the gates of both primary and secondary schools in the state were not opened after four weeks of closure as both teaching and non-teaching staff were also absent.

Few students who spoke with newsmen said they had hoped the schools would be open following the directive by the state government that schools should re-open on Monday (Today).

It will be recalled that a statement signed by Mr. Toye Arulogun, the state’s commissioner for information, culture and tourism last week said that the state government decided to reopen the schools with effect from Monday, July 11, excluding the 17 schools that participated in the June 6, 2016, violent demonstration.
