Bayelsa Government Extends Flood Break Resumption By One Week

The Bayelsa State Government has fixed 21st November 2022 as the resumption date for public, private secondary and primary schools in the state for return from the six weeks flood holiday.

This is contained in a statement signed by Hon. Dr. Gentle E. Emelah, Commissioner for Education Bayelsa State on Tuesday afternoon.

The extension is as a result of the slow pace with which the flood waters are receding in some parts of the State.

Also, government wishes to charge operators of the private sector to maintain the government approved calender and charge all stakeholders in the Educational sector to remain vigilant and ensure strict adherence to all school safety regulations in the face of the receding flood.

Government therefore wish to empathize with all Bayelsans who have been affected in one way or the other by this unfortunate natural disaster.
