The Jigawa State Government has ordered the immediate closure of all public and private schools in the state over security threats.
State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Lawan Yunusa Danzomo disclosed this to
newsmen in his office.
Danzomo explained that the directive is not
peculiar to Jigawa State but all the states, especially the border states.
It is learnt that the state government had directed the immediate
closure of all primary and secondary schools without further delay while the
students were taking their terminal examinations.
The sudden
closure has caused panicking among residents, students and teachers.
A
headmaster confided in Daily Post that they were asked to shut down the
schools and release the students immediately.
He said the directive came while the students are writing their
examinations a few days before the normal closing date.
