Lagos Places Chrisland School On Probation Over Whitney Adeniran Death

Lagos has placed Chrisland School on probation over Whitney Adeniran death.

Glamtush reports that the Lagos State Government has placed Chrisland High School, Ikeja, on probation for one academic session to monitor adherence to safety policies and guidelines.

This comes after Whitney Adeniran, a student at the school, died during the school’s inter-house sports competition event at the Agege Stadium, Agege Local Government Area.

The probation placed on the school was disclosed in a press statement posted on the Lagos state government’s official website.

The statement noted that the State Commissioner for Education, Folasade Adefisayo announced the probation during a recent meeting between the management of Chrisland schools and government agencies under the Lagos State Joint Task Force in charge of the implementation of the child protection and safeguarding policy.

The government also directed the management of Chrisland Schools to implement short and long-term reforms in school governance.

It also directed the schools’ management to recruit a certified Risk Manager to conduct and render a detailed analysis of risk management of the group of schools and ensure all students, staff, and stakeholders of the school affected by the death of the late Miss Adeniran are given psycho-social therapy and trauma counselling.

Adefisayo said, “The stipulated conditions are outcomes of official investigations and reviews by all the agencies that form the Task Force and an example of the usual conditions precedent to reopening schools closed for any form of infraction in Lagos State.”
