THE Edo Government has directed all public and private schools in the state to resume for the 2024/25 academic session on Sept. 30.
This directive comes after an earlier postponement of the resumption date, initially set for SeptEMBER 9.
In a statement on Sunday in Benin, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Ojo Akin-Longe, warned that a fake notification had been circulating that schools would reopen on Monday.
He urged parents and guardians to disregard this false information.
“We refer to the earlier announcement postponing the resumption of all public and private schools in Edo State, which was originally scheduled to reopen on Monday, 9th September 2024.
“We are aware of a subsequent false notification stating that schools should resume on Monday, 23rd September 2024.
“We wish to clarify that this announcement did not originate from the Edo State Government and is the work of mischief makers.
The information is false and should be disregarded.
“The Edo State Government hereby directs that all public and private schools in the state will now resume for the 2024/25 academic session on Monday, 30th September 2024,” the permanent secretary said.
