Students who attend Lagos State Government-owned schools will be promoted to the next classes using continuous assessments.

This was revealed by the Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folashade Adefisayo while speaking on Channels Television on Thursday.

Adefisayo also noted that there was still no definite date for the full reopening of schools.

“(For) the reopening (of schools), we are working with the Federal Government. So I cannot unilaterally say that we are doing this or that, but we are planning.

“There are two scenarios. If we don’t have a third term, it means that we have to push the next session to next year.

“But if the students do not do the third term examination, they will use their CA (continuous assessment),” she said.

Both private and public schools in Lagos were closed down in March after Nigeria first confirmed its first COVID-19 case in the state.

However, students in exit classes have resumed since Tuesday, August 4.

The governing council of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has eliminated Oluwatoyin Ogundipe as the vice-chancellor of the school.

Mr Ogundipe used to be removed at the council’s meeting held Wednesday at the headquarters of the National Universities Commission, Abuja.

In attendance have been eleven of the 12 council members, the VC included, majority of whom voted for the removal of Mr Ogundipe.

Mr Ogundipe used to be accused of economic impropriety and gross misconduct.

Mikhail Mumuni, the media adviser to chairman of the governing council, Wale Babalakin, established the development.

He, however, declined further comments, saying only the registrar of the college can grant small print of the development.

The warfare between the university’s governing council and the management reached a head in March when its week-long 2020 convocation was once all at once cancelled simply earlier than it started.

The cancellation, which was once ordered by means of the NUC, Nigerian universities’ regulatory body, was once in response to a directive by means of the schooling minister, Adamu Adamu.

Mr Adamu gave the directive in response to a letter written to the vice-chancellor via the council chairman, accusing Mr Ogundipe of failing to share vital small print about the ceremony with the council.

The exchanges between the two officials were condemned by using relevant stakeholders, which include graduands, parents, the alumni and staff.

Fresh plans have been nonetheless being made to reconvene the ceremony when the Covid-19 pandemic arrived to similarly maintain the annual programme in abeyance.

Meanwhile, it's  gathered that the university has on account that mailed copies of notification of results electronically to the affected graduands in view of the ceremony.
