Nasarawa State, Abuja’s Other Contiguous State Shuts Down All Primary, Secondary Schools Over Terrorists’ Threat

  • Governor Abdullahi Sule said disturbing attacks in Abuja and other contiguous states have left his administration with no other options but to close schools across Nasarawa

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja other contiguous State, on Wednesday ordered the immediate closure of all primary and secondary schools in his State.

In a directive dated July 27, the Governor said disturbing attacks in Abuja and other contiguous States have left his administration with no other options but to close schools across Nasarawa.

The directive was issued “following recurring” cases of “security breaches and threats in parts of the country, including some neighbouring States,” and orders “the immediate closure of both public and private primary and secondary Schools operating in state as a precautionary measure.”

The statement, signed by Commissioner of Education, Fatu Sabo, said those undertaking NECO and SSCE should remain behind to complete their examinations, stating that adequate security measures have been put in place to safeguard students.

The directive came two days after terrorists killed about a dozen soldiers in Abuja during a foiled invasion of the Nigerian Law School in Bwari, a suburb of the nation’s capital. 

Several security reports have warned of imminent bandit or terrorist attacks in Abuja, Nasarawa, Niger, Kaduna and other States in North Central region of Nigeria.
