Primary And Secondary Schools Will Stay Shut For Now – Kaduna State

The Kaduna State Government has come out to say that all primary and secondary schools in the state will stay closed until the security situation improves.

The State’s Commissioner for Education, Dr Shehu Muhammad recently revealed this via a press conference.

According to him, the schools were earlier scheduled to reopen on Aug. 9, but the ministry didn’t get clearance because of the ongoing security operations across the state.

He added that some individuals are circulating misguided information about resumption and it must be ignored completely.

His words, “We were, however, surprised that for mischievous reasons, some individuals are circulating misguided information, claiming it was from the ministry, asking schools to resume.”

“We want to categorically say that all schools – public, private and religious, including federal schools in the state – are to remain close.”

“We will reopen as soon as we are advised to do so by security agencies, assuring us that schools are safe to open.”
