SAN FRANCISCO, August 05, (THEWILL) – The Nigeria government announced partial reopening of schools across the country for exit classes for the purpose of writing examinations but it appears some private school owners are set to take advantage of the announcement to commence full reopening for all classes.
The Osun state Police Command has therefore warned private school owners in the state planning to reopen schools for all students, under the cover of partial reopening to exit classes for the purpose of writing examinations, to desist from such action.
The police command in a statement by spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, said any private school owner found reopening school for all classes would face the full wrath of the law.
“The command has been reliably informed that some private school owners are planning to reopen schools for all students under the cover of the partial reopening to exit classes for the purpose of writing examinations.
“The partial reopening applies only to schools that have registered for WASSCE and to students in exit classes; students in SS3 and JSS3 classes who will be sitting for the examinations, beginning from Aug. 17, 2020.
“The Federal Government has not approved the reopening/ resumption of schools for all students.

“Therefore, any private school found operating under the cover of the partial reopening of the exit classes will face the full wrath of the law,” the police warned.
