Niger State Government Shuts All Public Secondary Schools


 The Niger State government has ordered the closure of all public secondary schools in the state for at least two weeks.


 


The state’s Commissioner for Education, Hajiya Hannatu Jibrin Salihu who made the announcement said the decision was reached after an interface between the state government and officials from various security agencies.


 


Public schools in the state will now be closed from Friday, March 12th to Friday, March 26th, 2021.


 


Daily Trust reported that though 22 secondary schools (11 Day and 11 Boarding Schools) had earlier been closed, Salihu said the two weeks closure of all secondary schools was necessary to give relevant security agencies the time and opportunity to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment.


 


When completed, the comprehensive risk assessment will provide an all-inclusive mechanism and strategies that will restore and guarantee sustainable security and safety of students, school infrastructure, education managers and teachers in the State.
