The Osun State Government has directed all private and public schools to begin their third term vacation early due to the upcoming nationwide protests. The directive, issued by Muritala Jimoh, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, mandates that all schools must commence their vacation by Wednesday, July 31.
Jimoh’s statement emphasizes the safety of students during the protests and advises parents and guardians to take necessary precautions to ensure their children’s well-being during this period.
The decision comes amid growing concerns over the nationwide protests planned in response to the prevailing economic hardship in the country. These protests are scheduled to take place from August 1 to August 10, 2024, under the banner #EndbadgovernanceinNigeria.
