Hajiya Sabo said this has become necessary considering the proximity of the state to FCT, as well as the resolve of the government to ensure that schools in Nasarawa State operate within a safe environment.
She, however, explained that the directive excludes the exit classes that are already writing their final examinations, especially in secondary schools.
While announcing that her ministry will, in due course, issue a circular to that effect, the education commissioner, however, appealed to parents not to panic, adding that Nasarawa State is safe but that the decision was taken as a proactive step to safeguard the lives of both pupils and students across the state.
Hajiya Sabo equally called on principals and heads of respective schools to also ensure the schools are closed in an orderly manner, especially that there is no threat to any life or property presently in Nasarawa State. “We are appealing to parents not to panic.
We all know that Nasarawa State is safe but this decision was taken as a proactive measure to ensure that our children are safe and continue to remain safe.
That is for those within the state and those that came from other states to study here.
“We want to also appeal to our principals and heads of respective schools, to also ensure that while we are closing these schools, we do it in an orderly manner. There’s no threat to any life or property as at now in Nasarawa State.”
