Oyo NAPPS, NUT disagree over schools reopening Read more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/06/oyo-napps-nut-disagree-over-schools-reopening/



Some stakeholders have expressed divergent views as Oyo State Government on Monday released its plans to reopen some arms of schools. Recall that the Gov. Seyi Makinde had directed that Primary Six pupils, Junior Secondary School (JSS) Three and Senior Secondary School (SSS) Three students were to resume classes from June 29. Reacting to the directive, Kayode Adeyemi, the President, National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), commended the governor for taking the step.

NAN also reports that Gov. Makinde said students in critical classes were to resume at the end of June to ensure they were well-prepared for the public examinations ahead of them. He said that the schools were to observe the COVID-19 protocols as released by the task force, ensure that stations for washing of hands were provided in all schools, while all students were to compulsorily wear face masks. According to him, schools are to provide hand wash points with the support of their Parents/Teachers Associations (PTA). Makinde explained that the resumption of critical classes at the end of June 2020 would be two clear weeks ahead of the state’s drop-dead date of July 15. He added that by that date, it would be decided whether other categories of students would return to classes. “The taskforce will not mind shutting down everywhere if evidence emerges that the COVID-19 safety protocols are being violated. ” Should there be an explosion in the number of cases, however, the state government will intensify enlightenment campaigns to ensure the safety of our people,” the governor said.

New Deal for our creative industry ON JULY 16,

New Deal for our creative industry ON JULY 16,  20201:34 AMIN EDITORIAL Kindly Share This Story:FacebookTwitterEmailWhatsAppPinterestShare THE good times may just be ahead for our long-suffering creative industry, as President Muhammadu Buhari has formally handed over the National Theatre Complex, Iganmu Lagos, to the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Bankers Committee for restoration and redevelopment. According to the Governor of CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the scope of the intended project, which will be completed within 18 months, is capable of generating over $20 billion (about N8trn) annually. That is more than oil will ever contribute to our post-COVID-19 economy. That is part of the diversification of the economy we have been clamouring for but unable to actualise over the decades.
