Rising from the consultative meeting with the 36 state commissioners for education, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Education Secretary, in Abuja, on Monday, Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, said all schools would remain...
in session throughout the election period.
He said the meeting resolved that academic activities could go on unhindered in both basic and tertiary institutions across the country.
Shekarau, however, said adequate security would be made to ensure that the schools are secured, especially some of the institutions where there are polling units.
A cross section of Nigerians had called for closure of schools, in view of the security concerns and the tension being generated in the build-up to the general election.
