Most public and private schools in Oyo state have suspended academic activities as at Tuesday morning, African News Today observed.
Although there has not been any official by the State Government over the closing of schools, most private schools said the decision was taken as a result of the hardship students experienced by students due to the #EndSARS protest in major parts of the state on Monday.
Most proprietors maintained that the safety and security of the children is paramount while the protests last informed the decision.
