Lagos Reopens Chrisland Schools, To Review Protocol Guiding Private, Public Schools

Following the reopening of Chrisland Schools, the Lagos State Government has said it will launch a reviewed guideline that will govern both public and private schools in the state.

The government through a press statement by the Commissioner of Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo ordered that the school, which was shut down due to improper conducts involving some of their pupils, be reopened.

A video involving a male and female pupil of the school making out in Dubai when they attended the World School Games between March 10 and 13, 2022 broke the internet last week. The scene was recorded by some other pupils of the school between the ages of 10 to 15.

The mother of the female pupil had cried out for Nigerians to help her after the school suspended her daughter following the immoral acts.
