The Director-General of the Lagos State<\/a> Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA), Mrs. Abiola Seriki-Ayeni, warned on Monday that schools flouting the federal and state governments\u2019 directive on the closure of learning environments would be sanctioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayeni, who disclosed this in a statement, condemned the action of some private primary and secondary school owners inviting students to school despite the government\u2019s decision to close schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She warned owners and administrators of such schools to desist from reopening under whatever guise, as any school caught flouting the directive would be sanctioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The director added that OEQA Office Monitoring and Investigation team would embark on monitoring exercises across the state to ensure compliance with the directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lagos State government had in March directed the closure of schools across the state following the outbreak of COVID-19<\/a> in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
