The Jigawa State government has ordered the closure of all public primary and secondary schools over the fear of attacks.
The Commissioner of Education Lawal Yunusa confirmed this to newsmen in Dutse the state capital.
He said, “an intelligence report was received by the state government that states, especially with international borders, are prone to attacks”.
“Upon receiving this information we ordered the closure of schools to avoid any surprise. Most of the schools are done with their examinations,” the commissioner added.
“The only students writing examinations are the SSS2 students who are writing mock examinations and only Civic Education and the Hausa language are left to be concluded. Then the pupils write internal examinations which the school can reschedule.”
