The Edo State government on Friday announced a shift in the resumption of all primary and secondary schools in the state.
According to the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, who spoke during a press briefing in Benin City yesterday, the new resumption date is now Monday, February 1, 2021.
The decision was due to the upsurge in the Covid-19 pandemic nationwide.
The governor promised to assess all health facilities across the various schools to ensure strict strict compliance with COVID-19 protocols.
All schools had been slated to resume across the country on Monday, January 18, 2021.
