Commenting on the development, the vice-chancellor, Lagos State University (LASU), Professor Olanrewaju Fagbohun on Monday, indicated that students of the university would resume in batches from September.

Fagbohun, in a radio interview monitored in Lagos, explained that 400, 500 and 600 level students would resume first when other levels of students would come on board later.

In his words: ‘’The 400, 500 and 600 levels students would resume for a duration of two months, with intensive lectures starting from 9am – 3pm daily for those that live off-campus. After their completion, students in 200 level and 300 level will then resume for two months of lectures which would be divided into different days of the week before the commencement of exams.’’

Also, the proprietor of Tolulope Schools, Alapere- Lagos and assistant general secretary, League of Muslim School Proprietors Worldwide (LEAMSP), Lagos State chapter, Mr. Tolulope Animashaun told LEADERSHIP that the association was encouraging schools especially those with a large population to do two shifts in a bid to observe social distancing among other guidelines.

Tolulope stated that they were very serious about all the COVID-19 protocols the government has put in place.

He indicated that the Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) has issued their association members an online form to fill. This form would allow them to know when they will come to visit the school for assessment and give them the go-ahead for resumption after they've done the needful.
