The Federal Government has announced the reopening of all Unity Schools that were closed in November due to security challenges across parts of the country.
In a statement issued by the Director of Press and Public Relations of the Federal Ministry of Education, Mrs. Boriowo Folasade, the Ministry reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding students and ensuring the continuity of education nationwide, following the reopening of the 47 Unity Colleges earlier this month.
According to the statement, academic activities have fully resumed after the strengthening of security architecture within and around the affected schools. Students have returned safely to their campuses, with many currently concluding their December academic programmes, while others have successfully completed their examinations.
The Ministry assured parents, guardians, and the general public that the safety, welfare, and well-being of students remain a top priority. It added that the government is working closely with relevant security agencies to sustain stability and restore normalcy within school environments nationwide.
The statement noted that the Federal Government remains resolute in its responsibility to protect every Nigerian child and uphold their fundamental right to education in a safe and secure environment.
It further emphasized that the current administration places strong importance on human capital development and recognizes education as a critical pillar for national growth and development. Consequently, the government remains determined to prevent disruptions to the academic calendar.
The safe return of students and the successful conduct of examinations in several Unity Colleges, the Ministry said, underscore the government’s resolve to keep learning on track despite prevailing challenges.
The Federal Ministry of Education expressed appreciation to parents, school administrators, and students for their cooperation, patience, and support, and reiterated its commitment to sustaining a secure, stable, and uninterrupted education system across the nation.
