Katsina State Orders School Closure Amid Rising Attacks for Student Safety
The Katsina state government, through the Yusuf Jibia Commission for Basic and Secondary Education, has ordered the closure of schools in response to increasing attacks. This decision aims to protect the lives and properties of students and staff.
The closure will remain in effect until a comprehensive security review identifies high-risk areas. The move follows recent attacks on schools in Kebbi and Niger states, with the government attributing the incidents to a failure in security management.
The Department of State Services (DSS) had issued security alerts, warning of potential terrorist attacks on schools. The government urges strict adherence to security advisories to safeguard public safety, especially children.
