Do you want to know the School resumption in Nigeria for the 2024–2025 academic year for all schools in the thirty-six (36) states of Nigeria? In this post, we will provide information on the resuming dates for higher and secondary institutions around the country. The resuming dates for secondary and higher schools vary since universities have a longer calendar than secondary schools.
In a year, secondary schools, also known as high schools, can have three terms each made up of three months, while in tertiary institutions, a year consists of two semesters, and a semester is four months, hence the reason why the resumptions dates differ.
