The Oyo State Government has directed all public and private primary and secondary schools in the state to resume for the 2021/2022 academic year on Monday, September 20th, 2021.

This was contained in a circular dated 7th September 2021, showing details of the academic calendar of the year and signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Mrs. A. B. Atere.

The first term of the 2021/2022 academic session is billed to start on 20th September 2021, with a mid-term break of two days between 4th and 5th November, 2021 and will last for 13 weeks.

Schools will be expected to close for Christmas break on Friday 17th December 2021 and reopen for the second term of the academic year on Monday 10th January 2022.

The second term is expected to have the same number of weeks as the first term with a two-day mid-term break in between and a three week Easter break which begins on Friday 8th April, 2022.

Monday, 2nd May 2022 will mark the beginning of the final term of the session as it is the longest term in the academic session with 14 weeks as well as two days break and six weeks long holiday.

The government in the circular directed that all academic activities should begin at full gear as truancy and complacency will not be tolerated.

The session is expected to have few interruptions because of public holidays which might be declared by the Federal or State Government were they deem it fit to do so and it is expected that all schools observe those holidays as at when called upon to do so.

This academic session will be the first full-scale academic session since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic in early March 2020 in Oyo State and the session is expected to end on Friday, 5th August, 2022.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
