The Edo State Government has postponed the reopening of all public and private schools in the Edo Central Senatorial District for the second term indefinitely
The decision comes in the wake of last week’s violent protest in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area, sparked by rising incidents of kidnappings in the community.
In a statement, Edo State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Paddy Iyamu, said the postponement would remain in effect “till further notice.”
He noted that the delay is intended to allow authorities to address urgent issues aimed at improving the welfare of students.
“The new date of resumption will be duly communicated to the public in due course. Parents, guardians, and all education stakeholders within Edo Central Senatorial District are kindly requested to take note of this development and comply accordingly.” he said.
