The Federal government through the Federal Ministry of Education has dismissed a report circulating on social media claiming that schools nationwide have been directed to shut down from the 24th of November, 2025
In a statement by the Director of Press Folasade Boriowo, the Ministry described the report as false and misleading,
According to her, the report did not originate from the Federal Government, the Federal Ministry of Education, any State Ministry of Education or any recognized security agency.
She urged members of the public to rely strictly on verified information from official channels.
Boriowo also emphasised that only communications from verified sources should be considered authentic.
This clarification is necessary as the Federal Government on Friday ordered the closure of 41 federal secondary schools in high-risk areas following increased abductions in Niger and Kebbi States, and not all schools nationwide.
