The Lagos State Government has closed down 10 private schools for flouting the current ban on schools in the state due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This was disclosed by the Director-General, Office of Education and Quality Assurance of Lagos State, Mrs. Abiola Seriki-Ayeni.
The Director-General together with the Monitoring and Investigation team went round the state so as to gather information as to the level of compliance with the ban on schools by private schools in Lagos State. Even though there was a huge compliance with the order of the Lagos State Government by most schools, certain private schools were caught flouting the State Government’s order. In adherence to the State Government’s order, the non-compliant private schools have been sealed.
