Ekiti State and Kwara State announce that Monday, 5 October 2026, will be a work-free day for teachers to commemorate World Teachers’ Day. In Ekiti, the state Commissioner for Education, Dr Olabimpe Aderiye, says the decision is intended to allow teachers to participate fully in activities marking the 2026 observance.
In Kwara, the state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, makes a similar declaration for teachers ahead of the World Teachers’ Day commemoration. While both outlets report the same date and the same broad purpose—giving teachers time to take part in activities—each highlights the announcement coming from different officials in their respective states.
