By Uche Mbah

Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwolu, has ordered the reopening of Chrisland schools while investigations into what has come to be dubbed the “Dubai Immoral act” continues.

The State Government also ordered all private and public schools to reopen Monday.

Chrisland Schools was shut down indefinitely following a viral video of underage children  caught engaged in unwholesome  act in  Dubai on a  trip to participate in the World School Games between March 10 and 13, 2022.

This generated a lot of controversy with the girl’s mother alleging rape. But video evidence showed otherwise.

“The Lagos State Ministry of Education has directed that all Chrisland Schools shut for alleged misconduct of some students in Dubai be reopened from Monday, April 25th, 2022″, the statement read.

“The directive follows a review of the ongoing administrative investigation into the incident. Besides, it is to ensure that students are not denied access to learning when the new term begins on Monday 25th April 2022.

“The State Government shut the schools for the safety of students and the staff and to ensure unhindered investigation of the incident.

“The Ministry of Education and other relevant agencies of the State, in conjunction with the school’s Parent Teachers Association, will be working on scheduled psychosocial support for the students.

“An extensive assessment of the school’s procedure, especially on external trips and excursions, is being made to identify safety gaps and prevent such incidents.

“Besides, the Ministry will launch the reviewed guidelines/protocols governing private and public schools across the state within the next one month.”
