- The Federal Government has approved the reopening of the 47 unity schools earlier closed over security concerns.
The decision was announced on Thursday by the Ministry of Education in a statement, which said the move underscored the government’s commitment to the safety of students and the uninterrupted delivery of education across the country.
The ministry noted that necessary assessments had been carried out to ensure improved security measures in the affected schools ahead of the reopening.
Recall that the Federal Government had ordered the closure of the unity colleges weeks ago following a spate of student abductions in some parts of the country, a development that heightened fears among parents and school authorities.
The reopening, according to officials, is aimed at restoring normal academic activities while sustaining efforts to protect students and staff.
