The Bayelsa State Governor, Mr Douye Diri, has directed the resumption of all public and private tertiary, secondary and primary schools in the state on Monday, October 5.

According to the Commissioner for Information, Orientation and Strategy, Mr Ayibaina Duba, the re-opening of schools is “sequel to the flattening of the COVID-19 pandemic curve in the state.”

He said the primary and secondary schools would be resuming for the third term.

Duba stated, “The third term and session will terminate on December 18, 2020; and a new academic session will commence in January 2021.

“What we have done is to ensure that the lost time is regained.”

Therefore, the government of Bayelsa State, under the leadership of Senator Douye Diri, has decided with all the critical stakeholders that all schools, both public and private, and all tertiary institutions should resume for classes from the 5th of October, 2020.”
