Naira scarcity: Parents withdraw children from schools over protests in Lagos

TRIBUNE

Many parents, on Friday, in Lagos, stormed their children’s schools during lectures to pick them home following the widespread protests amidst the cash crunch ravaging the country.

Our correspondent monitored the situation around Abule-Egba, Agbado-Ijaiye, Alakuko, and so forth and observed that students of both public and private schools in the axis were affected.

Many shop owners in the axis including POS operators and particularly those near major bus stops such as Ijaiye, Kollington and Alakuko also hurriedly closed their shops for fear of possible attack by the rioters.

Everybody was in panic as the atmosphere was tense.

However, some of the schools visited by Saturday Tribune include Ijaiye Ojokoro Junior and Senior Colleges and Ijaiye Housing Estate Junior and Senior Secondary Schools as well as several private schools, all under Ifako–Ijaiye Local Government area of the State.

The students were seen going home from around 11.45 am against their normal 1.00 pm scheduled time for Fridays.
