The management of the Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board (PSUBEB) has ordered the immediate closure of all junior and senior schools in the state.
The PSUBEB described the decision as a preventive measure to protect students from any unforeseen “security threats”.
Daily Trust reports that the development comes amidst attacks on schools in Kebbi and Niger States where many students were kidnapped.
In a statement by the management and confirmed by the Public Relations Officer of the organization, Rechard John Samanja, the board said the closure is temporary but necessary, calling on all local government education authorities, administrators, and community leaders to comply.
The statement reads “The Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board (PSUBEB) has directed the immediate closure of schools across the state.
“Government Junior Model Secondary Schools (GJMSSs) will close effective Saturday, 22 November 2025. Primary and Day Schools will close effective Monday, 24 November 2025.
“This decision is underscoring the urgent need for preventive action. The Board assures parents, guardians, and stakeholders that this closure is a temporary but necessary step to forestall potential threats and to reassure communities that the government is prioritizing the wellbeing of our learners.
“The Board calls on all Local Government Education Authorities, school administrators, and community leaders to cooperate fully with this directive and remain vigilant, “ the statement warned.
