Fagbohun, who made this known while speaking on a radio interview in Lagos, further explained that 400, 500 and 600 levels students would resume first before other levels.
He added that on Mondays and Wednesdays, 300 level students would be on campus for lectures, while on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 200 level students would be on campus in order to maintain social distancing.
According to him, this will help prevent a sudden spike in the Covid-19 numbers when schools finally reopen.
“In line with the NCDC requirement for medical facilities, Lagos State University has a COVID-19 team to keep the university on its toes in ensuring compliance. Isolation places have been provided in the university," Fagbohun said.
