Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has given reasons for the continued closure of schools and tertiary institutions in the state.

Sanwo-Olu gave the reasons two weeks after announcing that guidelines for reopening schools would be made public in the state.

He spoke during the 15th press briefing held at the State House in Marina to give updates on Lagos COVID-19 response

The governor explained that the guidelines for reopening schools were not ready.

He also said schools cannot be allowed to reopen with the increasing cases of COVID-19 in the state.

Sanwo-Olu said the State Government was finalising the protocols to reopen basic and secondary schools, noting that meetings were currently being held with stakeholders.

He said online learning already adopted by the State-owned tertiary institutions and secondary schools would go on until stakeholders agree on protocols for schools’ resumption.

He said, “Regarding the educational sector, I did mention that by now, we will be expressing a full guideline. Those guidelines are not ready yet because of the engagements we are having with the various stakeholders in that sector. But we will need to continue to encourage the online learning that we have.

“That has started extensively with our higher institutions. We are encouraging other private sectors as well to use as much online capability as a form of intervention in the educational sector until the statistics that we have subsided and we are at a stage that all of these schools can reopen again.”

Na you sabi .. I know this cannot last for ever.. it is well..
We don't even know which is which

Double tongued.

If una tire na go open the river self

Lagos going back and forth.

Covid-19 is here to stay with us. There is no possible solution in sight for now. We can't continue to ground all sectors.

Preventive measures should be given while people take responsibility for their health.

Damnnnnn niggarrr

"Those guidelines are not ready yet...But we will need to continue to encourage the online learning that we have."

Our network providers keeps ripping us off with high cost of Data and also "Men in Black" will refuse to provide constant Electricity! So, how exactly are we suppose to continue to encourage the "online' learning that we have!?

We know

I think it is commonsensical for Lagos not to re-open schools now because of the increase in the number of cases of the disease. Why should they re-open when the virus is still ravaging?

If not for the irresponsibility of our government, the whole country ought to still be in total lockdown.

When the numbers are increasing. Smh.

Na wah for sanwo olu oh

Corona don scatter 2020 calendar

Don't open it o, keep them closed, tight.

Now that school closures affect all involved, students, Edu staffs and all, this plays a major role in amplifying inequalities.


FG, even though we understand that these are important political decisions, they just must be based on robust evidence, not theory or some orals...


“You must be thoroughly fair when it comes to finding a delicate balance between the protection of health, the prevention of economic and social risks and especially fundamental respect for human rights”.


The reopening of schools is symbolic and shall definitely serve as a practical herald of recovery.

Shut up
I Don't evem care abt Lagos... Let nysc open for us.. Simple
