Noheemot Oyedele-Salako, clarified that schools will operate as usual tomorrow, October 6th, 2025. This statement was made during the celebration of the 2025 World Teacher’s Day, held at the June 12 Cultural Centre in Kuto, Abeokuta, where she represented the state Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON.
The event was a vibrant celebration honoring the dedicated teachers who play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the state’s youth. The Deputy Governor highlighted the invaluable contributions of educators to society, emphasizing their hard work and determination in navigating the challenges of today’s educational landscape.
However, amid the festivities, concerns arose regarding the potential declaration of a public holiday to commemorate this important day. Engr.

This decision aims to ensure the consistent delivery of education and maintain the academic calendar without interruptions.
Residents and students in Ogun State can rest assured that learning will continue as planned. Engr. Oyedele-Salako urged parents and guardians to send their children to school, highlighting the importance of education and the lessons that come with each day of learning.
“While we take this day to honor our teachers and reflect on their crucial roles, it’s essential that our students continue their education without pause,” she noted during her speech. “Education is the foundation of our state’s growth, and we must ensure that our children are supported in their learning journeys.”
The message is clear: October 6th will be just another day of learning in Ogun State, with teachers continuing their vital work in classrooms across the region. The celebration of World Teacher’s Day serves as a reminder of the profound impact educators have on shaping the minds and futures of their students, and it is imperative that they are recognized not just on this day, but every day.
As Ogun State prepares to honor its educators, let us continue to support our schools and recognize the important work of teachers as we move forward together in the pursuit of knowledge and excellence.
