What you should know
- It can be recalled that the Lagos State Government, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, about 2 weeks ago, directed the indefinite shutdown of all public and private schools, as part of the state’s public health directives to prepare the state for the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
- The governor also directed all public servants from grade level 14 and below, except emergency workers and first responders, to work from home for 2 weeks in the first instance.

Total Nonsense just keep doing rubbish God’s anger is coming on you all you can’t escape it..
What kind of stupid response is that? Are you an illiterate?
Sanwolu pls allow our children to go back to school.
I wonder why tertiary institutions are allowed to be in session,since they have a higher population than the secondary or primary institution
Because they would be more responsible to an extent obviously
What kind of stupid response is that? Are you an illiterate?
Sanwo olu is not capable of governing Lagos state.Stupid.
Sanwo olu u are mad u are just delaying our children idiot
Is better allow the children to resume properly, all the whole wasted time,and wasted school fees is not enough for them.they want to start it again.and they can never stop some of these private schools robbers not to collect full school fees.anytime they feel like they resume and collect full time service,which they serve nothing.
That is rubbish, I believe Nigerians are not going to school again to gain knowledge, is just to gain money and secure positions. That is what is killing everyone here .graduates illiterates.if they really value education here,they should educate hv states u can’t miss any stage.once u miss one,u hv miss all.how can we run school under 2 months u collect school fees and dismiss the fools,can u cover scheme of work under 2 months plus,? We are deceiving ourselves .no conscience anymore.
