Which states have published a 2026/2027 academic calendar?

Lagos, Ogun, Oyo have published dates we can source. Every other state is listed as pending — we show no projected dates for states that have not published.

Are these dates official?

Each state page says exactly where its dates came from. A state marked "official" links the ministry circular itself, mirrored on this site so you can read it. A state marked "reported" carries dates from a named publication and is labelled as unconfirmed. We never publish an estimated date.
