Dr Gogo Jaja who made this Call in an interview with our reporters, said the essence is to ensure that the uniform academic calendar is maintained.
” we expect that all our schools resumes on Monday, both private and public schools. We expect that all our teachers will be on duty post on Monday. For a very long time now, as soon as schools resume, our teachers are always at duty post. In some cases we start teaching at the first day of resumption,which has never been. And therefore we wish to encourage parents to ensure that their wards must be in school by Monday. We also wish to encourage our teachers, and urge all schools to ensure that there is school on Monday ” he stated.
