Schools in Oyo State are to be reopened on Monday.
Recall that the state government had ordered the closure of all schools effective last Wednesday in the wake of gridlock and harassment of citizens that accompanied the #EndSARS protests.
State Commissioner of Education, Science and Technology, Mr Olasunkanmi Olaleye, conveyed the reopening directive in a statement on Sunday.
Olaleye hinged the reopening order on government’s observance that normalcy had returned to the state.
