By LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT DEBUNKS ANNOUNCING FRIDAY AS PUBLIC HOLIDAY
…Says All Public, Private Schools To Observe Mid-term Break Thursday, Friday
BlackBox Nigeria can say that, the Lagos State Government has today, Wednesday March 6th 2019, clarified reports making the rounds that it had declared Friday, March 8 2019 as Public Holiday for Civil Servants, saying the information was untrue.
Recall that a report made available to BlackBox Nigeria earlier had suggested that the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode had declared Friday as public holiday to enable Lagosians prepare for the March 9 Governorship and House of Assembly elections.
According to a recent statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, civil servants are expected to be at their various duty posts on Friday, and disregard any information to the contrary.
Bamigbetan reiterated that just as earlier announced by the State’s Deputy Governor, Dr. Mrs. Idiat Adebule, all public and private schools in the State are expected to proceed on the 2nd Mid-Term Break on Thursday, 7 and Friday 8 March, 2019 and resume academic activities on Monday, March 11, 2019 in accordance with the revised School Calendar for 2018/2019 Academic Year.
