Ahead of Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections, Lagos State Government has declared Friday holiday for all schools in the state.
It directed schools in the state should go on their Second Mid-Term break on Friday, March 8, 2019.
This was contained in a statement issued by the State Ministry of Education, which directed all public and private schools in the state to close on Thursday, March 7, 2019, and resume on Monday, March 11, 2019.
It noted that it became necessary to correct the wrong impression in some quarters that schools will not open on Thursday, March 7, 2019.
It stated further that the break is to ensure all students and pupils are in their respective homes during the gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections that will hold on Saturday, March 9, 2019.
The statement therefore, enjoined all parents, teachers and stakeholders in the education sector and the entire public to observe this break in the interest of all.
