Edo schools resume new academic session September 30

The Edo State Government has directed all public and private schools in the state to resume the 2024/25 academic session on September 30, 2024.

The Edo State Government made this known in a statement issued by the Permanent Secretary at the State Ministry of Education, Ojo Akin-Longe, on Sunday, September 22.

The directive comes after an earlier postponement of the resumption date, initially slated for September 9.

Longe, who stated that a fake notification had been circulating that schools in Edo State would reopen on Monday, September 23, urged parents and guardians to disregard the false information.

He said: “We refer to the earlier announcement postponing the resumption of all public and private schools in Edo State, which was originally scheduled to reopen on Monday, 9th September 2024.

“We are aware of a subsequent false notification stating that schools should resume on Monday, 23rd September 2024.

“We wish to clarify that this announcement did not originate from the Edo State Government and is the work of mischief makers. The information is false and should be disregarded.

“The Edo State Government hereby directs that all public and private schools in the state will now resume for the 2024/25 academic session on Monday, 30th September 2024.

“We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.”
