COVID-19: Oyo Teachers To Resume June 29

The Oyo State Government has said only teachers will resume school on June 29, ahead of students resumption a week after.

COVID-19 Task Force stated this on Tuesday after reviewing the state of preparedness of the schools ahead of the planned resumption.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seyi Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa obtained by ngnews247.com, confirmed that the Commissioner for Education, Barrister Olasunkanmi Olaleye and experts from the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) had been going round the schools to determine compliance with the COVID-19 prevention protocols put in place by the schools.

The taskforce agreed that teachers are to resume to the schools on Monday June 29, 2020, while students in critical classes including Primary 6, JSS3 and SS3 will resume a week later on July 6, 2020.

The Federal Government of Nigeria, including some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have criticised the state government for planned reopening of schools.
