Edo Government on Monday, announced a postponement of resumption of all public and private schools in Edo Central Senatorial District, amidst growing security challenges in parts of the state.
Resumption of schools in the area has now been shifted to a later date that will be communicated to the public.
Schools were billed to reopen yesterday for the second term, in the 2025/2026 academic calendar.
In a public announcement in Benin, Commissioner for Education, Dr. Paddy Iyamu, said the postponement became necessary, to address emerging concerns affecting the welfare of students.

According to him, it is aimed at resolving ‘exigencies‘ that would enhance the safety and well-being of children in the district.
Iyamu urged parents, guardians, school owners, and administrators within the district to note the development, and comply accordingly.
He said that a new date for resumption would be communicated to the public in due course.
The management of Ambrose Alli University (AAU) had earlier on the day of the protest announced the closure of the university and suspended ongoing examinations and other activities at the institution.
