Oyo Gov't Orders Reopening of Schools in Oriire and Neighbouring Communities on Monday

The Oyo State Government has re-ordered the reopening of schools in Oriire, Oyo East, Surulere, and Olorunsogo local government areas, on Monday, following the deployment of additional security operatives to the affected zones.

Parents and guardians are strongly urged to remain calm, as security agencies have assured the government of sustained surveillance and protection across all identified communities.

Speaking on behalf of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB), the Executive Chairman, Dr. Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, said the latest decision follows a comprehensive security review carried out after the unfortunate incident in Ahoro-Esinele community.

Dr. Adeniran noted that the safety of pupils and teachers remains a top priority of the state government, adding that the coordinated efforts of security operatives-working under the directives of the Commissioner of Police-have significantly strengthened safety measures in schools across the axis.

He emphasised that learning activities can now resume without fear, as the government continues to monitor the situation closely in partnership with local authorities and community stakeholders.

While reaffirming the government's commitment to protecting every child within the school system, Dr. Adeniran appealed to parents not to panic or spread unverified information, assuring that the state will continue to provide timely updates as necessary.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected executives of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Oyo state wing, ably led by the Chairman, Comrade Hassan Ajibola Fatai.

Your emergence is a testament to the trust and confidence reposed in your leadership capacity, dedication, and long-standing commitment to the teaching profession.

This new mandate comes with great responsibility, and I am confident that you and your team will uphold the values of service, unity, and professionalism for which the Union is known.

I wish you a successful tenure marked by progress, harmony, and impactful achievements for our teachers across Oyo State.

As you commence this new journey, I look forward to a smooth and productive working relationship between your leadership and all relevant government agencies.

Together, we will continue to strengthen the education sector, promote teachers’ welfare, and ensure that our schools remain centres of excellence.

Congratulations once again, and may your tenure be blessed with wisdom and meaningful accomplishments.
