The Oyo State Government has ordered the reopening of 23 schools across the Atiba, Afijio, Oyo East and Oyo West Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.

This was after the state’s Deputy Governor, Mr Bayo Lawal, met with several actors in the boundary crisis which had culminated in a 10-year closure of schools in the areas.

Lawal, who is also Chairman of the State Boundary Committee, charged the chairmen of the four LGAs to ensure security and peace in their domain, and equally noted that the Ministry of Education would oversee the schools after reopening.
