The Ogun State Government, through Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology Abayomi Arigbabu, has issued a crucial directive to school administrators to prioritize the health and safety of students and staff in light of an impending cholera outbreak threat. This directive was announced on Wednesday as schools resumed sessions following the mid-term break and Eid-el-Kabir holiday.
In response to the threat, preventive measures have been swiftly implemented across school communities. These measures are designed to curb the potential spread of cholera and ensure a safe environment for learning. Central to these efforts are comprehensive health education sessions that focus on cholera prevention. These sessions are structured to raise awareness among students and staff about symptoms, strategies to prevent transmission, the importance of proper hand hygiene, and ensuring access to safe drinking water throughout school premises.
The main aim of these efforts is to keep students and staff safe. By raising awareness and getting ready to deal with cholera in schools, the government wants to reduce the risks of the disease. These actions show how committed the government is to keeping people healthy and ensuring schools in Ogun State are safe places to learn.
