The Bauchi State Government has ordered the immediate closure of all public and private schools, including primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions, citing overwhelming security threats to students and staff.

Key Points:
  • All schools in Bauchi State are closed until further notice.
  • The decision follows extensive consultations with security agencies.
  • Katsina, Plateau, and other northern states have taken similar measures.
  • The closure includes Federal Government–owned schools within the state.
  • Authorities urge calm and vigilance while promising a swift resolution.
  • Recent attacks in Kebbi, Niger, and Kwara prompted the precaution.
