Lagos State has sealed off five private schools allegedly holding tutorial classes for pupils in school.
The Director-General, Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA), Mrs Abiola Seriki-Ayeni, had earlier warned that the OEQA monitoring and investigation team would embark on compliance monitoring exercises across the state in order to ensure schools adhere strictly to the safety directives issued by the government to combat the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
The DG had expressed dissatisfaction about schools caught flouting the directive on closure despite the spike in the spread of coronavirus in the state, adding that government would make public, the names of such schools and as well announce their penalties.
