Ogun State government has reopened schools and worship centres.
The state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, announced the reopening on Wednesday, when he addressed a press conference at his Oke-Mosan office.
Governor Abiodun said the school reopening, which takes effect on August 4 is for students in SSS3 classes.
Abiodun also announced automatic promotions for students in all classes.
He said worship centres will reopen on August 14, with strict adherence to specified guidelines.
The governor also reiterated that weekend lockdown will continue till August 14 when churches and mosques are expected to open for worshippers.
Meanwhile, congregational prayer will not be allowed during the Eid-el-Kabir, as the governor advised Muslim faithful to avoid large gatherings and observe social distancing while they celebrate Sallah.
It's a good development to hear that school is reopening as well as granting automatic promotion for the students, but my question is, if secondary schools are reopened, what happens to the tertiary institutions especially those in final year who are supposed to be writing their projects by now and those studying law who are expected to be preparing for law school this year ending. Please these set of students should also be considered. Thanks
The governor has done very well, we only need to double our efforts in complying with all the preventive precautions against the covid 19.God bless governor Abiodun, God bless ogun state.
