ONDO State Government has threatened to sanction any public or private primary and secondary school that opened for academic activities.
It said permission was given for schools to open for only SSS 3 and Junior Secondary School Class 3.
Chairman of Inter-Ministerial Committee on COVID-19 Prof. Adesegun Fatusi said there was no directive or permission for the re-opening of primary and tertiary institutions – public or private – in the state.

Prof. Fatusi said the directive was in line with the objective of strengthening public safety, protecting the lives of residents and further mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
But, primary and secondary students in Akwa Ibom State are to attend school on different days to avoid overcrowding in classes and in a bid to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
