Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has changed his initial plans to reopen schools on 29 June after the COVID-19 compulsory holiday.
He said in the new arrangement, only teachers are to resume school on June 29th while students in terminal classes will resume a week later.
Recall that Makinde had earlier directed all terminal classes including Primary Six (Pry 6), Junior Secondary School Three (JSS3) and Senior Secondary School Three (SSS3) to resume on June 29 ahead of preparations for their various exams.

It was gathered that the shift in resumption date may not be unconnected to non-readiness of schools in terms of meeting the various government protocols and the recent warning from the Federal Government that reopen of schools may escalate the COVID-19 in the state.
Details coming later.
