Ogun Postponed Resumption Of Primary And Secondary Schools Over Ebola

Following the outbreak of Ebola virus diseases, the Ogun State Government has postponed indefinitely the resumption of classes in all its primary and secondary schools.

Hitherto, the schools were to resume for the 2014/2015 academic session on September 15, 2014.

The state Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr. Segun Odubela, announced the decision in statement on Thursday.

Odubela said the change followed the Federal Ministry of Education’s directive to schools nationwide.

Odubela urged parents and guardians to take proper care of their children and wards by monitoring their movement and engaging them in academic activities.

Reacting to the development, a parent, who has three children in a public primary school in Abeokuta, Stella Obawoye, said it was a good step.
