Lagos State government has reaffirmed Monday, April 11 as the resumption date for the commencement of third term academic session for schools in the state.

Deputy Governor of the State, Dr. Idiat Adebule stated this following speculations that the resumption date has been postponed.

While noting that the ministry recognises the stress associated with the current fuel scarcity and its attendant consequences, she said higher premium must be placed on the development of the leaders of tomorrow.

She therefore appealed to parents to look beyond the present situation and encourage the children to face their future with renewed vigour as the call for a shift in the resumption date will only distort the academic calendar.

She urged proprietors of private schools, head teachers/principals of public schools to do everything humanly possible to see that the school calendar runs smoothly. (TVC)
