Following the Indigenous People of Biafra declaration of Mondays as sit-at-home in the South-East, the Anambra State government has announced Saturday as a school day.
It said the development was to replace Mondays which had already been overtaken by IPOB’s sit-at-home order.
This was revealed in a statement by the government titled, ‘Anambra State government approves Saturday as school day’. It added that Saturday classes would commence on October 30, 2021.
The statement read, “I am directed by the Executive Secretary to inform you that the Anambra State Govt. has approved Saturdays as school days in place of Mondays.
“All HMs are to notify teachers, pupils as well as parents about the new development. Quality Assurance supervision and every other supervision henceforth will hold on Saturdays.
“Every game permission for absent from classes on Saturdays must be addressed to the Executive Chairman ASUBBEB through the Executive Secretary following due process. Saturday classes will commence on 30/10/21, next week.”
The state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Don Adinuba, confirmed the statement.
