The statement read: “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.”

“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.

“We recommend that when schools resume on Monday, teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term.”

The Commissioner advised pupils/students to take their studies more seriously to recover the lost period.

It will be recalled that schools in the state were shut on October 19, 2020, following safety concerns after hoodlums hijacked the #ENDSARS violence.
