Yobe State Shuts Boarding Schools Amid Insecurity Surge; President Orders Security Boost

Yobe State Governor orders the immediate closure of all boarding schools due to rising insecurity, following recent mass kidnappings in Nigeria. President Tinubu directs enhanced security measures across the country.

The decision comes after a series of attacks on educational institutions, including the abduction of students in Kebbi, Niger, and Kwara states. The Federal Government also shuts down federal unity colleges for security reviews.

The move underscores the urgent need for stronger protection of schools, especially in rural areas.
