Building collapse: Many schools existing without our knowledge - Lagos govt warns parents - Daily Post Nigeria

Mr Adesegun Ogundeji, the Director, Public Affairs Unit of the ministry, gave the warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos, on efforts being made by the state government to ensure safety in schools.He said that operating illegally without due registration and compliance with the rules and guidelines for establishment of private schools is an offence.

“We told them this is not about tax or levies; it is about doing the right thing and following due process. We just want to help you grow, we just want to help you obey rules and regulations in the state. “With this document, school owners will be guided on all they need to know before establishing a school, registration process, how to go about it and the steps to be taken.

Explaining the process of registering a school, Ogundeji said the first step was name search, adding that school owner would submit three different proposed names so that there will be no clash of identity. “It is not safe for the children because anybody can pretend to be visiting a tenant, thereby kidnapping a child or endangering the life of a pupil.

Incompetent bureaucracy!

U lie. Lackluster freaks

Not ashamed to say this? I think you people should be held responsible for another school children death as a result of poor regulations

Am just wondering how many ipo/ heroine joint exist in Lagos without government or police awareness......if private school could exist in a state and the deputy governor who double as commisioner for education will publicly declare that govt isn't aware. Alausa govt.

Next level government

An admittance of regulatory failure!
