Tertiary schools in the state will reopen by September as part of strategies to gradually ease the lockdown occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lagos State Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu disclosed this on Saturday during the 17th Update on the Management of the Coronavirus Pandemic in Lagos State.
”We are pleased to announce that tertiary institutions will reopen from Sept. 14, 2020.
”However, as regards primary and secondary schools, we are working toward reopening these institutions anytime from Sept. 21, 2020.
”This decision is not cast in stone and is subject to a review of our ongoing modeling of the state’s response to the pandemic,” Sanwo-Olu said.
The COVID-19 Incident Commander said that the decision to re-open schools was carefully thought through, in view of the decline in the number of positive cases and the progress recorded in response.
Sanwo-Olu urged the management of the schools to ensure adherence to the safety guidelines.
