The Enugu State government, Monday shifted the resumption date for primary and post-primary schools in the state to June 7, 2021.
The schools were earlier billed to resume today, May 31, 2021.
In what appeared to have been influenced by the sit-at-home-order by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in commemoration of the Biafran Day today, the state ministry of education shifted the date by one week.
The state commissioner for education, Prof Uche Eze, advised parents/guardians to ‘ensure that their wards complete all holiday assignments given to them before schools reopen’.
The state polytechnic, Iwollo, also cancelled all academic activities billed for today (Monday). The registrar/secretary to the council, Dr Mrs. Oby Igwesi, in a statement, said, “I am directed to inform you that all activities in the school today, Monday 31st 2021, have been cancelled.
“This is due to unforeseen circumstances. Please be guided accordingly.”
