Oyo Government Reopens Public Schools As 17 Remain Shut.

The Senator Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi led government of Oyo State has decided to reopen schools across the state after they have been shut for some weeks now. The schools are going to resume back Monday 11th, 2016.

But 17 of the schools whose pupils participated in the protest according to a press release by the Hon. Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Toye Arulogun, will remain shut until the principals and the management of the schools submit an undertaking to the government that the students under their care will not engage in nor be used for violent acts and that their safety will be guaranteed.

"The people of Oyo State, Nigeria and indeed the whole world will recall the highly condemnable events of Monday 6th June 2016 which witnessed violence and wanton destruction of government property and those of individuals and corporate bodies by students and teachers of some schools in Oyo State.

This violent activity threatened the peace and security of the state and endangered the lives of the students who participated in this breach of peace and affront on constituted authority. Consequently, the Oyo State Government was constrained to shut down public schools throughout the State to safeguard the lives of the students and protect the lives and property of the citizenry; a decision that was taken in the line of its primary duty of ensuring peace and safety in the state.

Following several representations by the Parents Teachers Association, Community Leaders, Religious leaders, Traditional Rulers, Prominent and well meaning Nigerians at home and abroad, the Oyo State Government has decided to reopen public schools in the State with effect from Monday 11th July 2016.

However, the seventeen schools that participated in the violent demonstration are excluded from Government’s reopen order.

Considering the need for strong character moulding and to emphasize the importance of good conduct and acceptable behaviour for the leaders of tomorrow, the students must tender a written apology to the government through the school management.

The Government of Oyo State wishes to reiterate its commitment to ensuring the security and safety of lives and property within the state", Ajagun concluded.

The affected schools are as follow:

Baptist Secondary School, Senior and Junior, Oke Ado, Ibadan; Ansarudeen Secondary School, Liberty Road Ibadan; Ansarudeen High School, Liberty Road, Ibadan; Ibadan Grammar School, Senior and Junior,Molete, Ibadan; Olubi Memorial Grammar SchooL, Molete, Ibadan; St Luke Grammar School, Senior and Junior, Molete, Ibadan; St Luke College, Molete, Ibadan; Yejide Girls Grammar School, Molete, Ibadan.
