Though, the schools in the state resumed for the second term on Monday, students at Iseyin Secondary School was directed not to resume to avert a religious crisis in Iseyin Local Government Area,
The State Ministry of Education had on Sunday announced on the state-owned electronic media that students in the area should stay away from their schools indefinitely.
The Chairman of the council, Alhaji Yusuph Saheed, said that the directive of the government was necessary to forestall crisis in the ancient town and its environs.
The state government is very proactive and sensitive to religious matters; that is why the announcement of the closure was made.
As it is now, we are working round the clock to return our students to class as soon as possible.
Security of lives and property is very paramount and important to the government, but I can assure you that the matter would be settled amicably soon," Saheed said.
