Real video of Chrisland School: NAPPS makes fresh revelations, demands

The leadership of the private school proprietors in Nigeria has called for thorough and unbiased investigation into the indecent conduct of some pupils of Chrisland Schools in Lagos State.

The group- National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), however, likened the decision by the Lagos State Government to indefinitely shut down all branches of the school in the state to throw the baby away with the bathwater.

NAPPS said in a statement, which was signed by its president, Yomi Otubela, that the government’s decision would jeopardise the interest of other learners, especially those registered for the senior school certificate examination (SSCE).

The statement read in part; “While we are in support of the swift move by the Lagos state government to investigate the issue, we view with concern the recent announcement of the state government to shut down all branches of Chrisland Schools in the state over the said sex video.

“We feel shutting down all the branches of the school might deny other children their rights to learn more and for those in the terminal classes the right to continue their preparation for their final examinations.

“Equally of concern is the fact that the parents, as observed above, are not always available for the upkeep of their children. So we are disturbed about what will become of these children for the period of the closure.”

“This neglect of parental responsibility from home has made it a herculean task for the school to achieve much progress,” he said, adding that; “For instance, when the background of a child is already faulty and without the needed support from home to effectively collaborate with the school management to address the identified challenges, one can only imagine how such a child will turn out to be in society.”
