Ekiti postpones schools’ resumption to May 9
The Ekiti State government has announced that public and private schools are to resume academic activities for the third term 2021/2022 session on May 9.
Folakemi Olomojobi, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, gave the directive in a circular made available to journalists on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti.
The circular signed by the director of schools in the ministry, Remi Ajayi, quoted Mrs Olomojobi as saying the postponement followed the public holidays declared by the federal government to commemorate Worker’s Day and Eid-el Fitr.
“Consequently, schools’ resumption hitherto scheduled for Monday, May 2, has been postponed due to the public holidays to mark Workers’ Day and Sallah celebration”, the permanent secretary was quoted as saying.
