The Federal Government has ordered the closure of one of its schools, the Federal Government College Kwali, Abuja over rising insecurity in the Kwali Area Council in Abuja.
A statement signed by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Ben. Bem Goong, said Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, gave the directive in the early hours of 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, however, 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.
