The cut-off marks for admission into tertiary institutions were released after the 2020 policy meeting on admissions to tertiary institutions which was held virtually. 

Meanwhile, following the report that some schools in Lagos state have started violating the closure directive, the state Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) has warned that defaulters would be seriously sanctioned.

The director-general of OEQA, Abiola Seriki-Ayeni, in a statement she issued on Monday, June 15, condemned the action of some private primary and secondary school owners inviting students to school in spite of the government’s directives to close schools.

Seriki-Ayeni warned owners and administrators of such schools to desist from reopening under whatever guise, as any school caught flouting the directive on closure would be sanctioned.
