The Ogun State Government has temporarily relocated students of Our Lady of Apostles Girls Grammar School, Ijebu-Ode, following renewed concerns over chemical inhalation linked to methane gas pollution on the school premises.
Governor Dapo Abiodun announced the decision on Tuesday during an on-the-spot assessment of the school, explaining that the move was necessary to protect students, teachers and other members of the school community while investigations continue.
He said preliminary findings confirmed the presence of methane gas in the affected environment, prompting renewed scientific and environmental assessments to determine the source and cause of the contamination.
