The Oyo State Government has commended the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), both at the national and state levels, for reopening schools in Oyo State.
The Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, recalled that the State Executive Council last Tuesday appealed to the (NUT) to consider reopening the schools for the sake of the students, many of whom may fall into the wrong hands while roaming the streets and staying out of school.
He said that by calling off the month-long strike, the Union has graciously saved the Oyo State Government and citizens from the double jeopardy of the kidnapping itself and having to deal with the negative social consequences of having its students engage in idle enterprises.
The Commissioner equally commended the citizenry for their patience and understanding even as efforts to bring the kidnapping nightmare to a close continues.

Prince Dotun Oyelade,
Hon. Commissioner for Information,
Oyo State.
