Ahead of the Saturday’s Governorship election, the government of Lagos State has declared Friday, March 8, 2019 as another Mid-Term break for all schools.

This was revealed in a statement issued by the State Ministry of Education, adding 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.

The statement noted that the announcement was necessary following the rumors in some quarters that schools will not open on Thursday, March 7, 2019.

It added 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 enjoined all parents, teachers and stakeholders in the education sector and the entire public to observe this break in the interest of all.
