What to Do Before September Resumption

The August long vacation is the best window to sort everything out without the last-minute pressure:

• Clear all outstanding school fees — most Ogun State schools expect full payment before the new term begins
• Buy textbooks and school supplies early — prices spike sharply the week before and after resumption, especially in Abeokuta, Sagamu, and Ijebu-Ode markets
• Sort out uniforms now — tailors across Ogun State get heavily booked in August, and quality drops when they're rushed
• New students: confirm your placement and complete all documentation before resumption day
• WAEC and NECO candidates: use the third term holiday to begin revision — promotion exams and external exams are both in third term
