Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered the immediate closure of private and public schools in Lagos state.
The order was contained in a statement through the state Ministry of Education as tension escalates by the EndSARS protests.
Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, who issued the directive said the safety of the pupils/students, parents and all staff working in schools are paramount at this critical period.
She advised parents to keep an eye on their wards and not allow them to be used as willing tools in the hands of those who might want to hijack the protests to unleash mayhem on the society.
The Commissioner also encouraged schools to utilize other means of distance teaching and learning such as radio, television and online media as they have been doing during and post the recent COVID-19 lockdown as a new date of resumption for all classes will be announced as soon as possible.
