Besides, does all those one room apartment school fall under this category ??

Funny.....

E Af happen again! Instead of regulating things they will ban cos e no affect dem. With the rate at which events hold in lagos, how many events centres is available to contain it. Moreover the cost of these events centres are too high for the average lagosians. But in a way this will reduce the rate of unnecessary partying every now and then.

Event centre owners are behind this.

To my own understanding, it's a welcome development, but it's really coming too late as our reasoning in this country has been undermined through corruption, my point is simply, when I was younger; under my primary school badge it's only read "work and Play" and NOT work and party. the school playing fields should strictly be where pupils go and play after much school work and not renting it out to political, religion and social purposes. We need to think and get back to our right thinking in this Nation, things has really gone wrong. Corruption has eating up our conscience. #WhichwayNigeria

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday said it would no longer allow social functions and parties in public schools just as owners of private schools across the state have been warned to comply with rules and regulations guiding their operations.

The Deputy Governor of the State, Dr. Mrs Idiat Oluranti Adebule who disclosed this while briefing the media on the strategic focus of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration on education for 2016, said the Governor had directed that schools should no longer be used for social functions.

She said:

“The Governor has directed that schools will no longer be used for social activities any longer. We want to implore members of the public to report any school that violates this directive and we would ensure that defaulting schools are sanctioned accordingly.”

Adebule, who also oversees the Ministry of Education, said the state government was putting a searchlight on the standard of education in the private schools, saying it will no longer be business as usual for such schools that undermine best practices.

She said as a first step, the government will engage with private school owners and proprietors to intimate them on the action plan of the present administration towards improving the standard of education, saying that though government is willing to partner with private schools, they must also be willing to adhere strictly to the acceptable standard.

“Much as private schools are partners in the sector, we would not fold our hands and watch the standard flopped. Some schools even operate without registering with the government. We want to urge such schools to do the right thing or government will have no choice but to do what it has to do,” she said.



Earlier, Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mr. Obafela Bank-Olemoh, while giving a detailed presentation on the policy thrust of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration for the education sector, said the state government intends to construct the biggest digital library.

He said the government was already at the planning stage of the library, while the actual establishment of the project would commence in the next quarter of the year.
He said the state government will build 10 new model schools with state of the art facilities, while two new technical colleges will be built in the course of the year in areas where such facilities are urgently needed.
On the Ibile Tablets, Bank Olemoh said 324,000 tablets to Senior Secondary School students, adding that plans have been concluded to register all students in both public and private schools in the state under the Lagos State Student Personal Administration Number (LASPIN) project to aid proper planning.

On the free meal in schools project, he said the state government is currently perfecting its framework for the eventual take off, saying that the project is expected to on the one hand, enhance the learning capacity of the pupils and on the other, boost the economy of the state.

This still bows down to our corrupt minded leaders cos the schools are used as means of generating income in which cleaning fee is part of the payment but instead of paying a cleaning agents from the fee paid to do the job they embezzle the money then engage the innocent students.

Most of the funds generated from the events is taken by the Principal, but if he has a "good" heart, it is shared between the Principal and his VP. The money is for their personal use, not for the betterment of the school.

Lagos state govt can ban parties @ public schools, but has no right to tell private investors how to use their facilities to raise necessary funds required to pay back bank loans. This is what happens when a govt runs out of ideas - dumb from Ambode.

If fun can be "have" everywhere, why not go to a mosque or church to do it?

When even centres in Lagos are becoming out of the reach of an average Lagosian.
They are ludicrously expensive

If it's a private school, why is the government making laws as per how they run their business...government overreach sha

secondary school? U mean if u mean secondary school then i agree buh if na higher institution

It the ban affect the public,it is justified.If it stops the students of public and private schools from throwing parties themselves,it will be unreasonable and anti-human riggts.

I understand directing it toward toward public schools, but how does that concern private ones. Soon they'll be saying don't have parties at home. It's private for a reason.

Some guys will not like this

Some guys like me. My future father in law better have a very big compound because me I no fit come go rent hall with 2 million for wedding.

Honestly i don't see how this affect learning in Schools, party or social functions do not take place during school hours rather it's only weekend. Government should address burning issues not banning party in school premises.
