Kaduna Shuts Down All Schools Over Students’ Abduction
The Kaduna government on Tuesday ordered the closure of all public and private schools in Kajuru LGA of the state.
The order was contained in a memo signed by Abigail Adze, commissioner of schools’ quality assurance authority, and issued by the zonal education office, Sabon Tasha.
Adze said the decision became imperative in light of the security challenges in Kajuru LGA of the state.
The memo, dated March 16, was addressed to all principals of public and private schools.
It directed that the schools should halt education activities close due to the prevailing security situation in the area.
“The director-general, Kaduna state schools quality assurance authority has directed me to inform all Principals and Proprietors of both public and private schools in Kajuru local government area to close down all Schools with immediate effect. (as from today 16th March, 2021),” the memo read.
“No school should re-open until you are directed to do so. Be security conscious at all times.”
