Ondo State Government has ordered the closure of all schools in the state following the tension generated by the ongoing #EndSARS protest.
The development is as a result of the ongoing #EndSARS protests across the state and in the country.
Protesters demanding an end to police brutality and extortion have been on the streets for several days calling for action from government, leading to blockage of major roads in various cities and states.
In a statement issued by the state Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr Femi Agagu, on Tuesday, the Governor said the directive was given for the sake of the safety of the students and the pupils.
The statement reads;
Mr Governor has directed that all schools that resumed on Monday 19th October 2020 are closed for the meantime from tomorrow 21st October 2020 because of the engulfing nationwide protest and the need to ensure safety of our students and staff.
Parents and the public are to note this directive and all schools are to comply.
