Africa Press-Nigeria:
Oyo State, governor, Seyi Makinde, has said schools in the state may resume on July 15, despite a warning from the Presidential Task Force on Coronavirus that schools across the country should remain shut.
Mr Makinde said the government will reopen schools by July 15, a “drop-dead date.”
Mr Makinde disclosed this during a special Programme to mark the Workers’ day celebration at the Secretariat of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Oyo State branch, in Agodi, Ibadan, the state capital.
“I was having a discussion with private school owners and the schools are all closed. They rely on the school fees to pay the teachers they have employed. Now, the children are at home, they have to keep the teachers but there is no fund to pay.
