Titi Laoye-Tomori, deputy governor of Osun state, has ordered the indefinite closure of Government Technical College, Osogbo, and Osogbo High School, over disturbances by the students.

Lawrence Oyeniran, a permanent secretary in the ministry of education, said the closure was to curtail any further disturbances in the schools.

He advised parents and guardians to warn their children and wards to stay away from acts capable of causing public disturbance.

“While the closure is being effected, parents and guardians are advised to warn their children and wards to desist from acts that are capable of causing public disorder in the two schools and beyond,” Oyeniran said in a statement.

“Consequently, security agencies have been directed to take charge of the two schools and maintain peace.”

He further said that activities of few students had led to wanton destruction of valuable property in Osogbo High School running into millions of naira.

Some students from the affected schools embarked on a protest on Thursday.
