Earlier today, Saturday 12 October, the Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu directed public Primary and Secondary Schools submerged in the floods to proceed on three- week holiday beginning from Monday, October 13.
The emergency holiday was declared as a result of the flash floods that affect most flood-prone communities especially riverine areas of the state.
The Nation reports that this development would forestall possible attendant incidents that may likely affect lives of vulnerable pupils in those areas as a result of the floods.
It is also aimed at protecting valuables from avoidable destruction.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, urged Head Teachers and Principals to enforce the directive and ensure that all perishable educational materials are evacuated.
