OGUN: Gov Abiodun orders reopening of all schools in Ogun

The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun has ordered the reopening of all schools in the state which were earlier shut as a result of the crises that followed the EndSARS protests.

This was revealed in a statement issued on Sunday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, which ordered the reopening of all schools in Ogun with effect from Monday, October 26.

According to Somorin, the decision to reopen schools in the state was as a result of the suspension of the protest which has thus returned peace to all parts of Ogun State.
