Adamawa State government has announced the closure of 30 boarding junior secondary schools out of the 34 junior schools in the state over insecurity.
The closure, according to a statement by the commissioner of education and human capital development, Mrs, Wilbina Jackson, is to take effect from September 6, 2021 till further notice.
The state government’s decision was promoted by escalating banditry in the country resulting in the kidnap of hundreds of schoolchildren across many states in Nigeria.
The four schools that will not be affected by the closure are; Government Girls Junior Secondary School (GGJSS), Yola, General Murtala Mohammed College, Yola, Special School Jada and Special School, Mubi.
“The Hon. Commissioner Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, wishes to announce that 30 boarding junior secondary schools out of the 34 schools in the state, have been de-boarded with effect from 6th September, 2021. From now henceforth, all the 30 government junior secondary schools are now day schools.
