Lagos to Reopen Schools in Two Weeks’ Time

The Lagos State Government has announced decisions to reopen schools in the state in two weeks’ time.

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, disclosed this during a televised press briefing on Thursday June 4, 2020.

Sanwo-Olu said the decision would however, be taken after an extensive meeting with stakeholders in the education sector.

“I know we are all eager to know the plans we have for the reopening of our learning institutions. There is still a lot more work to be done in this regard. And we are looking at the educational sector very differently.

“However, we will continue to have our online learning at our seven higher institutions.

“On primary and secondary schools, we will be engaging with the Ministry of Education and Lagos State Safety Commission. And we will be coming out with a full and specific pronouncement in two weeks’ time,” he said.

This announcement came in after the governor announced that as from June 19 mosques will reopen, while churches can reopen as from June 21.
