The Federal Government has ordered the immediate closure of the Federal Government College Kwali located in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This is coming after gunmen had attacked two nearby villages, creating fears in the minds of people living in Kwali and other areas.
A statement signed by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Education, Ben. Bem Goong, said Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, gave the directive on Monday.
He said the closure became necessary following security breach on Sheda and Lambata Villages, suburbs of Kwali Area Council which also threatened FGC Kwali.
According to the minister, the timely intervention of security agencies saved the situation.
The minister also directed that arrangements should be made for final-year students to conclude their NECO examinations.
He also directed principals of Unity Colleges across the country to liaise with security agencies within their jurisdictions in order to forestall any security breach in our schools.
The students’ parents had trooped to the school to evacuate their children on Monday morning after receiving calls from the school authority to take away their wards immediately.
