A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Gbouega Akosile, said the governor’s directive was contained in a circular issued by the Head of Service, Mr Hakeem Muri-Okunola, to members of the state executive council and all heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies on Sunday.
The circular entitled “Re: Stemming the tide of the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic” also stated that the 2021 first work day prayer session for all public servants in Lagos State would be held virtually on Monday January 4.
“Sequel to Head of Service Circular Ref.

Expectedly, the directive excludes essential duty staff, as well as first responders.
“Furthermore, while wishing all staff members a prosperous and fulfilling year, please be informed that the Y2021 First Work Day Prayer Session for all public servants in Lagos State shall be held in line with tradition on Monday 4th January, 2020. However, in keeping with COVID-19 protocols, the session shall be held via zoom and live streamed on Facebook.
“In addition, all public servants are enjoined to stay safe and to keep adhering to all COVID-19 protocols in order to rid the state of the pandemic in the shortest possible time.
“All heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies are urged to note the contents of this circular for compliance and give it the deserved Service-wide publicity,” the circular stated.
The state government has also asked all public and private primary and secondary schools not to open yet, saying a new date for resumption will be announced soon.
Head, Public Affairs, Lagos State Ministry of Education, Kayode Abayomi, made this known on Sunday.
He explained that schools in the state would not reopen on Monday, January 4, 2021, as earlier announced.
According to him, the second wave of COVID-19 will be a major determinant for the reopening of schools in the state.
He said, “Please, recall that the Ministry of Education earlier announced 4th of January as resumption date for the second term 2020/2021 academic session, but this has since been overtaken by the turn of events due to the recent waves of COVID-19 pandemic.
“As a result of the spike in coronavirus pandemic, Mr. Governor announced the indefinite closure of all schools. To this end, kindly be informed that a new date of resumption will be announced as soon as possible.”
