Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, has ordered all private and public secondary schools in the state to immediately deboard their students in response to rising insecurity across the country.
The directive was announced in a statement on Friday, signed by the Commissioner for Education, Dr. Augustina Godwin.
According to the statement, the escalating security challenges nationwide have made boarding students in both public and private secondary schools potential targets for kidnappers, referencing the recent abductions of students in Kebbi and Niger states.
Godwin said the governor has directed that all secondary schools, public and private, operate strictly as day schools until further notice.
In light of the current circumstances, Governor Kefas has issued a directive requiring all secondary schools, both public and private, to function exclusively as day schools for the time being. Principals and school owners have been advised to promptly arrange for the deboarding of all students,” the statement added
The measure, she explained, is a proactive step aimed at safeguarding students’ lives and preventing any security breaches linked to the growing unrest in the region.
