The Edo State Government has announced that all public and private schools will now resume the 2024/25 academic session on September 30.
This follows a previous postponement from the original resumption date of September 9, 2024.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Benin, Ojo Akin-Longe, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, cautioned against a fake notification circulating, falsely claiming that schools would reopen on Monday.
He urged parents and guardians to disregard the misleading information.
