The Oyo State Government has directed the reopening of schools in Oriire Local Government Area and neighbouring local government areas on Monday, following the deployment of additional security personnel to the affected communities.
The government had earlier on Friday ordered the closure of schools following attacks on schools in the Ahoro-Esinle community in Oriire LGA, where a teacher was killed and a number of students kidnapped.
The affected areas include Oriire, Oyo East, Surulere and Olorunsogo local government areas.
The Executive Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Mr Nureni Adeniran, in a statement issued on Friday in Ibadan, said the decision followed a comprehensive security review conducted after the recent attack on schools in Ahoro-Esinle community.
