IPOB sit at home order: School ordered to open on Saturday by Enugu, Anambra state government

Anambra State and Enugu State have expanded their school day to Saturday due to the disruption of educational and other activities in as a result of the obligatory sit-at-home declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to push for the demand for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Though IPOB has repeatedly said they have suspended the Monday sit-at-home,  but the order is still being enforced in most eastern parts of the Nation.

The Anambra State government released a memo instructing that Saturday classes will commence on October 30, 2021.

Titled, ‘Anambra State Government Approves Saturday as School Day.' The memo reads “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 supervisions 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 ie next week.”

 

Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Don Adinuba, clarified on Sunday, October 25, that “the measure is to enable our pupils to learn as much as possible in a safe environment.”
