The Dapo Abiodun led Ogun State Government has said it is not ready to reopen learning centres in the state at the moment.
This was made known by the Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Public Communications, Hon. Remmy Hazzan, while featuring on Splash FM Abeokuta on Monday.
Remmy Hazzan said the Ogun State government was not in hurry to reopen its primary and secondary schools as well as tertiary institutions of learning.
Following the directive of the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to reopen schools in the state, there have been speculations that Ogun State might follow suit because of its proximity to Lagos, but Hazzan maintained that the state will wait for the Federal Government’s directive to reopen schools, saying Ogun would avoid taking an uninformed decision in following Lagos to do same.
“The fact that Lagos has done it is not an indicator that we have to be in a hurry to do it,” he stated.
All schools in Ogun State have been closed since March to forestall the spread of coronavirus.
