The Lagos State Government has announced that all public and private schools below tertiary school level in the State are to remain closed indefinitely due to the outbreak of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

This disclosure is contained in a statement which was issued by the Head of Public Affairs, Lagos State Ministry of Education, Mr Kayode Abayomi, late on Sunday, January 3, 2020.

Abayomi in the statement noted that the recent directive makes it mandatory that all schools earlier scheduled to resume on January 4, 2021, must remain closed until a new resumption date is announced.

The statement from Abayomi, partly reads, ‘’The Lagos State Government has announced that all public and private schools below the tertiary level in Lagos State remain closed indefinitely due to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.’’

    I wonder why tertiary institutions are allowed to be in session,since they have a higher population than the secondary or primary institution

    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.
