The Federal Government has announced the reopening of the 47 unity schools that were earlier closed over security concerns.
The Ministry of Education disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday, noting that the decision followed a review of the security situation in the affected areas.
According to the ministry, the reopening reaffirms the Federal Government’s commitment to safeguarding students, staff, and school facilities while ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of education across the country.
The statement added that necessary security measures have been strengthened to prevent a recurrence of the incidents that led to the closures.
Recall that the institutions were shut down weeks ago after a series of student abductions in parts of the country, prompting concerns over the safety of learners.
The ministry assured parents, guardians, and stakeholders that the government remains proactive in addressing security challenges and will continue to collaborate with relevant agencies to protect schools nationwide.
