The Adamawa State Government has ordered the closure of all public and private boarding schools in the state.
In a statement on Saturday, signed by the state Commissioner for Education and Human Development, Dr. Umar Pella, the government said the decision, made by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, was aimed at preventing a repeat of the recent abductions of students in Niger and Kebbi states.
“Sequel to the security challenges that the country is facing at the moment, particularly with what happened to students in Niger and Kebbi states, it has been observed with great dismay that the target of the evil perpetrators is boarding secondary schools.
“Considering this ugly situation in the country, I am directed by his Excellency, the Executive Governor of Adamawa State, Hon. Ahmadu Fintiri, to deboard all boarding schools across the state, be it public or private schools,” the statement read.
Pella added, “They should all operate as day schools for the moment. Therefore, by this letter, all principals and proprietors of public and private schools should deboard their respective boarding schools without further delay.”
The ALLSCHOOL TEAM had reported that some states, including Kwara, Plateau, Katsina, and Niger, shut down schools amid rising insecurity, while Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, also directed all public and private schools to deboard their students with immediate effect.
Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Education had stated that it has not issued any directive for schools across the country to shut down on November 24, 2025
