All Chrisland Schools in Lagos State have been closed indefinitely by the Lagos State Government. The shutdown was announced in a press release.
This was in response to a backlash over the students’ participation in an “immoral behaviour” while on a trip to Dubai.
The statement reads, “the attention of the Lagos State Government has been drawn to the alleged sexual violence case involving students of Chrisland Schools which occurred in Dubai, United Arab Emirates”.
“It is pertinent to note that all allegations are being investigated by the relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies, including Ministry of Education, Office of Education Quality Assurance, Ministry of Youth and Social Development, Ministry of Justice and the Lagos State Domestic & Sexual Violence Agency, whilst the criminal allegations have been escalated to the Commissioner of Police”.
“In view of the allegations, we are committed to ensuring that adequate medical and pscyho social support is provided”.
“This is to reassure members of the public of the State Government’s commitment to safety and child protection, especially in ensuring that all child-centered institutions within the state, formulate and implement policies and systems that are compliant with the Executive Order (NO.EO/AA08 of 2016), Lagos State Safeguarding and Child Protection Program”.
