Niger State Shuts Schools in Border Areas Over Security Concerns
The Niger State government has ordered the indefinite closure of schools in Madalla, Dakwa, Sabon Wuse, and Bwari areas due to mounting security concerns after the abduction of students at St. Mary's School Papiri. These areas lie along the boundary between the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Niger State, with schools in border communities facing the risk of spillover insecurity from neighboring states like Kaduna.
The closure affects both public and private schools, with teachers instructed to ensure students continue their studies at home.
