All public and private elementary and secondary schools, including government technical colleges, will reopen on Monday for the third term of the 2025–2026 academic year, according to a statement from the Ogun State Government.
The state Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology made the revelation in a statement on April 22, 2026.
The restart date is in line with the authorized academic schedule for the session, according to the statement signed by Abayomi Arigbabu, Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology.
The ministry states that as soon as classes resume, all schools in the state are expected to start.
The administration urged parents and guardians to make sure their children and wards go back to school as soon as possible.
The announcement stated, “As academic work will begin immediately, parents and guardians are urged to prepare their wards for immediate resumption.”
The Ogun State academic year 2025–2026 comes to an end during the third semester.
Schools are required to finish academic curricula, administer promotion tests, and get students ready for external exams during this time.
The state’s schools had previously taken a break once the second term’s academic activities were over.
The administration of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun State, has revealed the rationale for its denial of permission to host a lecture by former presidential contender Peter Obi.
According to Naija News, Obi had previously declared that he would give a keynote address at the university at nine in the morning before traveling to Ibadan for the summit of an opposition party. However, he was notified that the event had been canceled.
The former governor of Anambra State went on to say that such cancellations had happened more than ten times, therefore the occurrence was not unique.
However, OAU said in a statement on Sunday that the organizers’ short notice was the reason it rejected approval for the planned location.
Abiodun Olarewaju, the institution’s public relations officer, claimed that until Friday, the day before the program, organizers did not give sufficient information about the event and the invited visitors.
The statement claims that the university was unable to make the logistical and security preparations needed to invite well-known individuals due to the short notice.
It emphasized that Obi’s person or status was not disregarded and that the choice was made in the interest of safety and accordance to established norms.
