Disclosing this on Thursday, October 29, Honourable Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo said;
This has been an unprecedented year with the recent happenings that have regrettably led to frequent closure of schools with attendant learning disruptions faced by all children.
She stressed;
We pray and hope that there will be no more disruptions in the academic calendar. However, the State Government will always regard the safety of pupils/students, parents and all staff as a matter of priority.
Adefisayo added;
We recommend that when schools resume on Monday, teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term.
The Commissioner therefore advised pupils/students to take their studies more seriously in a bid to recover the lost period and thereby excel.
