COVID-19: Parents Call Out Grace High School, Gbagada For Allegedly Moving Students To Other Hotels Despite Paying N1.5M For School Facility
Aggrieved parents and guardians of Grace High School have called out the school’s authorities for blatantly ignoring the protocols of COVID-19 as laid down by the NCDC and government at all levels by asking their returning students to go and stay in hotels in order to ”be safe”, City News has learnt.
According to our sources, the school’s authorities have now told parents and guardians that students will now have to go and stay in nearby hotels and not the school’s boarding facilities because the school have found itself in a difficult situation.
Two of the parents of the school who spoke on the condition of anonymity told City News that the school despite collecting N1.5 million as school authorities fees which includes fees for boarding facilities have now told them that their children will not be allowed in the school’s hostels.
The parents are now calling on the Governor of the state and the state Ministry of education to stop Grace High School from embarking on such move because of the deadly pandemic and the psyche of the children which might be tainted by staying in that kind of environment.
