Lagos govt. orders reopening of shut Chrisland schools, five days after

All branches of Chrisland Schools in various parts of Lagos State are to reopen from Monday, April 25, according to the state government .

The State Ministry of Education announced this in a statement on Saturday, five days after it ordered the schools to close.

Mega Icon Magazine recalled that the government had ordered the closure of all branches of Chrisland Schools amid a controversy over the alleged misconduct of some of its pupils while on a trip to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Almost a week after the closure, the state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, however directed that the schools be reopened following a ‘review of the ongoing administrative investigation’ into the incident.

Adefisayo explained that it was also necessary to reopen the schools to ensure that students were not denied access to learning when the new term begins on Monday.

She explained that the state government shut the schools for the safety of the students and the staff and to ensure an unhindered investigation of the incident.

She assured that the ministry and other relevant agencies would partner with the school’s Parent Teachers Association (PTA) to work on scheduled psychosocial support for the affected pupils.
