The resumption marks the start of the third term, as confirmed by the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development. Peter Amogbonjaye, the ministry's Press Secretary, announced the date in a statement issued on Saturday. The decision followed consultations with key stakeholders in the education sector, according to Dr. Lawal Olohungbebe, the State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development. Speaking at the ministry's headquarters in Ilorin, Olohungbebe stated that the resumption aligns with the agreed academic calendar for the third term. "The resumption date reflects a collective agreement reached after wide consultations with critical stakeholders in the education sector, in line with the academic agenda for the third term," he said. Olohungbebe commended teachers and non-teaching staff for their dedication, linking their efforts to improved learning outcomes in public schools. He attributed recent gains in the sector to sustained investments and policy consistency under Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's administration. "The notable gains recorded in the education sector are a result of sustained investments, policy consistency, and the commitment of all stakeholders working together to achieve a common goal," Olohungbebe said. He emphasized the importance of continued collaboration to maintain progress and urged students to remain disciplined and focused on their studies upon return.
