BAYELSA GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN SCHOOLS OVER HEAVY FLOOD
The Bayelsa State Government has directed the immediate closure of all primary and secondary schools across the state as a result of the devastation caused by flood.
The directive takes effect from Monday 3rd October to Friday 11th November 2022.
Agala Danmini who represented the permanent secretary, planning, research and statistics in the ministry of Education said that the decision was taken to avert further danger to lives.
He noted that 18 schools across Kolokuma/ Opokuma, Nembe, Ogbia and Yenagoa Local Government Areas are expected to wait until Monday 10th October 2022 before embarking on the flood break.
Damini further noted that the delay was a result of a proposed visit by officials from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Abuja and Ministry of Education personnel for data validation exercise in the aforementioned schools.
