Lagos state Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says tertiary institutions in the state will resume on the 14th of September following the progress made by the state in the management of the COVID 19 pandemic.

The Governor in his daily COVID 19 briefings at the Lagos state government house said these were challenging times for all Lagos dwellers and it required extra levels of patience, sacrifice and understanding. He warned that the gradual easing doesn’t mean the pandemic is over.

According to the governor, “It is not an invitation to carelessness or nonchalance. The goal is to stay healthy and remain safe.

“Following the progress we have made in the management of COVID 19 and in line with our desire to gradually open the economy and critical sectors, today I announced that tertiary institutions will re-open from September 14th 2020.

“We will continue to responsibly manage our response and be guided by experts’ advice as we work to return all socio-economic activities. We will constantly keep you informed on the decisions we take in response to the pandemic and we ask for your understanding and patience”, he said.
