“We were, however, surprised that for mischievous reasons, some individuals are circulating misguided information, claiming it was from the ministry, asking schools to resume.
We want to categorically say that all schools – public, private and religious, including federal schools in the state – are to remain close.
We will reopen as soon as we are advised to do so by security agencies, assuring us that schools are safe to open”
