Nigeria’s Federal Government has shut down 47 of its unity colleges.
This week, terrorists stormed two secondary schools in Kebbi and Niger State and kidnapped over 100 students.
At least one teacher was killed by the invaders, with many kidnapped along with the abducted students.
The directive, issued in a circular released on Friday, cites “recent security challenges in some parts of the country and the need to prevent any security breaches.”
The closure of the colleges, it said, was approved by Tunji Alausa, the Minister of Education.
The circular was signed by Binta Abdulkadir, Director of Senior Secondary Education, for the Minister.
