Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has directed the closure of 30 boarding schools across the State.<\/p>\n

Fintiri gave the order following heightened insecurity concerns in the State and the young age of the students.<\/p>\n

He said the order, which takes effect from September 6, 2021, would affect 30 out of the state\u2019s 34 boarding junior secondary schools.<\/p>\n

Fintiri\u2019s directive was contained in a statement by the state\u2019s Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Wilbina Jackson.<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201c30 boarding junior secondary schools out of the 34 schools in the state, have been de-boarded with effect from September 6, 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom now henceforth, all the 30 government junior secondary schools are now day schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe remaining four that are not affected are Government Girls Junior Secondary School, Yola, General Murtala Mohammed College, Yola, Special School, Jada and Special School, Mubi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis becomes necessary due to the present incessant security challenges faced by the country and owing to students\u2019 tender age.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Governor said students of the affected schools would be distributed to the nearest public junior secondary schools.<\/p>\n

Schools in the North have been subjected to attacks by bandits. Several students have been kidnapped and killed in some Northern states.<\/p>\n

Last week, bandits had attacked a Secondary School in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State.<\/p>\n

An undisclosed number of students were abducted during the attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
