Lagos State Govt Gives Updates On Resumption Of Tertiary Institutions

The Lagos State government has said that only final year students will go back to classrooms, as tertiary institutions reopen next Monday.

This was confirmed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Special Adviser on Education, Tokunbo Wahab, while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday.

Sanwo-Olu had announced the re-opening of schools in the state, starting with tertiary institutions on September 14, 2020.

Secondary and primary schools are expected to resume a week after.

Wahab emphasised that the students in the state will resume in phases.

He said, “Basically, we are at a point where scientifically, we’ve been proven to have flattened the curve. And it invariably means that we are not as exposed as we used to be some five, four, three months back. So, consequently, we have to find a way to bring our lives back to normal. And in doing that, education is very critical to whatever we are going to do.
