[#EndSARS] Akeredolu orders closure of schools
Twenty-four hours after the resumption of schools in Ondo State, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has directed all schools in the state to close down
It was gathered by Punch that the development was not unconnected with the ongoing #EndSARS protests across the state.
In a statement issued by the state Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mr Femi Agagu, on Tuesday, the governor said the directive was given for the sake of the safety of the students and the pupils.
The statement read, ” Mr Governor has directed that all schools that resumed on Monday 19th October 2020 are closed for the meantime from tomorrow 21st October 2020 because of the engulfing nationwide protest and the need to ensure safety of our students and staff.
“Parents and the public are to note this directive and all schools are to comply.
“Any inconvenience is regretted, while the State Government would ensure resumption of our schools as soon as possible. ”

Hi, I'm Jadesola and if you've been here a while, you'll know that Ekomiami has always existed without a face. That changes now. I founded this platform in Lagos in 2018, originally as a space for entertainment and celebrity news. Over time and across continents my world grew bigger and so did my curiosity. Today, Ekomiami is what it was always quietly becoming: a home for travel, food, arts, and culture, told through the eyes of someone navigating the world from a very particular vantage point. With a background in content and media production. I write and create about the places I go, the food I find, and the experiences that make travel feel like more than a holiday. You'll find me in Bordeaux wine bars, on Albanian coastlines, in English market towns, and at restaurant tables taking notes between courses. The name "Ekomiami", "Lagos to Miami" has always been about movement, ambition, and showing up somewhere new. Seven years in, I'm stepping out from behind it. Welcome to the journey, properly.
