Activities at some schools across the country in compliance with the COVID-19 protocols released by the Federal Government were partially observed.
In Lagos, the government said it will suspend some of the regular activities in schools in the state as part of measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folashade Adefisayo, who made this known during a visit to some schools in the state said, activities like morning assembly and sports should be suspended for now.
She said, “There are some routines that will ensure that we are able to keep children away from each other. For one, no sports day, which is a pity because school is all about relationships. No assembly, so that we don’t all come into one place. We are going to keep coming around, holding meetings, talking to them and encouraging them.”
On the issue of face masks, Adefisayo admitted that they are uncomfortable but advised the students to keep wearing one to protect themselves
She said, “I know they find it uncomfortable. I keep asking, isn’t it better to be uncomfortable and alive? So, let’s cope with the discomfort. We have to keep on reinforcing the message, insisting that no mask, no entry.”
