Concerned Nigerians have expressed sadness and condemnation over a video that went viral on social media showing pupils of a yet-to-be named school in Lagos observing the daily morning assembly in flood water at a school’s premises.

The leaked video, on Saturday, had generated heated reactions from Nigerians, calling for severe sanction on the proprietor of the school.

The video shown the pupil of ages five to nine reciting the National Anthem and Pledge standing almost knee-deep in flood water in one of the riverine communities in Lagos State.

The school was later identified to be a privately-run school, located in Makoko slum area of the state. Some Nigerians questioned the rationale of the Lagos State Government giving approval to such school proprietor.
