el-Rufai Postpones Schools Resumption Till Further Notice Over Insecurity

Kaduna State Government led by Nasir el-Rufai has postponed resumption dates of both Primary and Secondary schools in the state till further over the insecurity situation in the state.

The students were earlier scheduled to resume their academic activities on August 9. That would not happen considering the statement released by the state government jointly signed by the Commissioner for Education, Dr  Shehu Muhammad and that of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan.

According to the statement, the decision is sequel to advice by security agencies, stressing that military operations are continuing while infrastructure projects are in high-risk areas.

“The Kaduna State Government (led by el-Rufai) commends the military and police high commands for the ongoing security operations against armed bandits across the state.

“The government praises the doggedness and courage of officers and troops carrying out air and ground operations around Kaduna, Niger, Katsina, Plateau and Zamfara boundaries”, it said.

The state government said it had requested the military and police high commands to expand the operations to newly identified hide-outs.
