According to a statement issued on Thursday by the spokesperson for the Federal Ministry of Education, Folasade Boriowo, academic activities have fully resumed in the affected schools following the strengthening of security architecture within and around their premises.

“After the strengthening of security architecture within and around the affected schools, academic activities have fully resumed,” the statement read.

It added that 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 of the Federal Government.

It noted that the government would continue to work closely with relevant security agencies to sustain stability and restore normalcy within school environments nationwide.
