By #LAGOSDECIDES2019: AMBODE DECLARES FRIDAY PUBLIC HOLIDAY FOR SCHOOLS
BlackBox Nigeria can say authoritatively that Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has declared Friday, March 8, 2019, a public holiday in order for Lagosians to prepare for the much anticipated Gubernatorial and House of Assembly election scheduled for Saturday, March 9th.
He also orders all schools in the state to join the holiday.
BlackBox Nigeria also gathered from a statement issued by the State Ministry of Education, that all public and private schools in the state are expected to close on Thursday, March 7, 2019, and resume on Monday, March 11, 2019.
This statement 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 release, therefore, enjoined all parents, teachers and stakeholders in the education sector and the entire public to observe this break in the interest of all.
