Anambra State Adopts Saturdays As School Days Over IPOB’s Monday Sit At Home Order

Due to the rising wave of crime and the now adopted Sit-at-Home order handed out by the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Saturdays have been officially declared as a school day in Anambra state by the state government.

Mondays have now been observed as a ‘day of rest’ albeit under duress by most citizens in the Southern eastern states of Nigeria as IPOB continue to express dismay over the arrest of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian government. “I am directed by the E S to inform you that the Anambra State Government has approved Saturdays as school days in place of Mondays,” a statement from the office of the Governor, Willie Obiano read in part.

“All HMs (headmistresses) are to notify teachers, pupils as well as parents about the new development.

“Quality Assurance supervision and every other supervisions henceforth will hold on Saturdays.

“Every permission for absent from classes on Saturdays must be addressed to the Executive Chairman ASUBBEB through the E S following due process. Saturday classes will commence on 30/10/21 ie next week,” it concluded.
