The Federal Government has announced the reopening of the 47 unity schools earlier shut down due to security concerns.

It said that after the strengthening of security architecture within and around the affected schools, academic activities have fully resumed.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Federal Ministry of Education on Thursday.

It said that the decision to reopen the affected colleges across the country reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to safeguarding students and ensuring the continuity of education.

“After the strengthening of security architecture within and around the affected schools, academic activities have fully resumed. Students have returned safely to their campuses, with many currently concluding their December academic programmes, while others have successfully completed their examinations,” the statement signed by the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade, partly read.

It assured parents, guardians, and the general public that the safety, welfare, and well-being of students remain a top priority.

The ministry explained that the government continues to work closely with relevant security agencies to sustain stability and restore normalcy within school environments nationwide.

“The Federal Government remains resolute in its responsibility to protect every Nigerian child and to uphold their fundamental right to education in a safe and secure environment.

“This administration places strong emphasis on human capital development and recognises education as a critical pillar for national growth and development. Accordingly, it remains determined to prevent any disruption to the academic calendar,” it stated.

It further noted that the safe return of students and the successful conduct of examinations in several unity colleges underscored the government’s resolve to keep learning on track despite prevailing challenges.

How can you open what was not closed. Some 30k jobbees were defending no insecurity. I dont think December is feasible, who will release his or her ward during festive period. It will be January, 2026.

Whois:
Schools are on break already. The Propaganda is DOA

Jeezuzpick:
Didn't they deny closing the schools at some time?

Salewa97:
Good

Those students would have missed a lot of things academically

UkoAnnang:


They have collected the first session of the ransom and now ready forthe second phase.

Bandits in government are doing their businesses very well

Razzness:
I think over the past few weeks, the Nigerian military has really given smoke to bandits. They have not been defeated but schools can't remain closed forever.
