The Federal Government has reopened all the previously closed 47 Federal Unity Secondary Schools and reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding students and ensuring the continuity of education across the country. The reopening followed the strengthening of security architecture within and around the affected schools earlier this month.
With the enhanced measures in place, academic activities have fully resumed across the Unity Colleges. Students have returned safely to their campuses, with many currently concluding their December academic programmes, while others have successfully completed their examinations.
The Federal Ministry of Education assured parents, guardians and the general public that the safety, welfare and well-being of students remain a top priority. The Government is working closely with relevant security agencies to sustain stability and restore normalcy within school environments nationwide.
“The Federal Government remains unwavering in its responsibility to protect every Nigerian child and to uphold their fundamental right to education in a safe and secure environment,” the Ministry said.
The administration said it places strong emphasis on human capital development and recognises education as a critical pillar for national growth. It added that preventing disruption to the academic calendar remains a key focus.
The Ministry noted that the safe return of students and the successful conduct of examinations in several Unity Colleges reflect the Government’s resolve to keep learning on track and sustain uninterrupted education nationwide across all regions, despite current security and operational challenges nationwide reported.
