Oyo Head of Service Urges Civil Servants to Comply with COVID-19 Protocol

The Oyo State Government has started training teachers from all local authorities ahead of the resumption of Pry 6, JSS3 and SS3 students on 29 June.

The Executive Chairman of the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, Dr. Nureni Adeniran, revealed that training to "reopen schools" is part of the state government's pre-opening mandate.

He added that the training aims to prepare participants for possible identification of the coronavirus case to ensure that teachers and students remain safe at school.

“The workshop is expected to equip participants with the necessary knowledge on Covid-19 and how to manage it during these trying times among pupils. Let me add that the workshop has representation from each zone in the State and is aimed at ensuring the safety of children and teachers in the State”, he announced.

Adeniran disclosed that “asking only Pry 6 pupils to return to school is strategic. Each school is spacious enough to contain all Primary 6 pupils in the State. So, there is actually no cause for alarm”.

He also added that OyoSUBEB would look into forming an Advisory Board to complement the efforts of the State Government on combating COVID-19, while every school has been ordered to adhere to all precautionary measures during this period.

Dr. Adeniran said that with the threat of coronavirus pandemic and the need for pupils to return to schools, it was imperative for the State Government to train teachers who would be in regular touch with the pupils on how to interact, while they also ensure their safety.

“To contain the spread of the disease in schools, Oyo State Government under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde has deployed trainers who would train teachers. These trained teachers would, in turn, train their colleagues on precautionary measures and how to manage each pupil after the long stay at home”, Adeniran said.

Furthermore, Dr Adeniran said that the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board has distributed facemasks to all non-teaching and teaching staffs across all Local Government Universal Basic Education Authority in the State.

This, he said is part of the Board’s precautionary measures taken to prepare every staff member for the task ahead. He added that each school would provide wash hand basins and alcohol-based hand sanitizers.  📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST.
