Governor Ifeanyi Okowa gave approval for the resumption of the schools, the state Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr. Patrick Ukah, disclosed on Friday in Asaba.

The governor had on Thursday last week ordered the closure of all schools across the state while imposing a 48-hour curfew due to heightened tension when the anti-police brutality protest turned violent and leading to destruction of lives and property in Asaba and other parts of the state.

The curfew, which is still in force, was eventually eased up to between 6p.m. and 8a.m. daily.
