Abuja — The federal government has vowed to ensure that schools are not attacked before, during and after the forthcoming general elections‎ as adequate attention has been put in place to avoid crises.

The minister of state for education, Prof Viola Onwuliri disclosed this, weekend, when she meet principals of unity colleges.

‎She said principals, teachers and other major staff of unity schools across the country will be moved to other schools for effective service.

Onwuliri urged the principals to officially inform the Federal Ministry of Education of projects that are abandoned and those that have been completed and handed over to the schools.

The minister also ordered the principals to submit WAEC, NECO, JAMB results of schools in the last five years for appraisal.

Her words "President Goodluck Jonathan is doing a lot with the military to ensure that schools are safe during the election period. That is why some of the schools that had problems initially have been renovated and children have gone back to school. Our solders are winning the war against insurgence. We are not resting on our oars to ensure peace. I will meet with the PTA next week for further discussions."

‎"Those who have stayed in a particular position will have to go else where. Over staying of staff will not be encouraged.

"We have a lot of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and we are moving them to the government colleges. Our problems are that many of them could not fit into the system so we are doing extra job to further teach them to be alongside their pairs.

"We have been talking to the children, teachers, the states and it is part of what we are doing here today. A lot of efforts are ongoing and many states are cooperating with us to ensure that the schools are safe before, during and after the elections.

"Submit the WAEC, JAMB, NECO and other results of your schools in the last five years. How they have performed."
