The Ogun state government has postponed the resumption date for all primary and secondary schools in the state in order to curb the spread of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease.
The resumption date earlier fixed for September 15, 2014 had been shifted to a date to be announced later.
In a statement on Thursday, the State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr. Segun Odubela, said the development was in response to the Federal Ministry of Education’s directive that schools in the country should put resumption for 2014/2015 on hold to check spread of the virus.
Odubela urged parents and guardians to take proper care of their children and wards by monitoring their movement and engaging them in academic activities.
