Lagos and Ogun state governments have said that only students
seating for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE)
will resume back classes in August.
“Speaking on Tuesday, July 28, Lagos state commissioner of
education, “Folasade Adefisayo”, and
the special adviser to the Ogun state governor on education, “Ronke Soyombo”, made this known while
giving update on school resumption in their respective states.”

“The Ministry of Education, in a statement, said students would
have two weeks to prepare for the WASSCE, the exit examination administered by
the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC).”
“Lagos and Ogun are among the most struck states by the
coronavirus pandemic with both having 14,848 and 1326 cases respectively
according to the report of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on
Tuesday.”
Meanwhile, Ekiti state government has also followed the Lagos and
Ogun way, saying there is no plan to reopen schools for students in other
classes apart from SS3.
“Foluso Daramola”, Ekiti
state commissioner for education, made this disclosure as Covid-19 crisis
continues to take a dangerous swipe at all Nigerian states.”
But in a contrary development, Lagos and Ogun governments said
both state have not decided whether to reopen schools for students in the
Junior Secondary School 3 (JSS3).
