Niger State Governor orders closure of boarding schools


By Abolaji Adebayo
The Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello, on Wednesday, directed that all boarding schools in the bandit ravaged areas of the state should be closed immediately.
Bello said the action was necessary to save the lives of the students as the areas have already been taken over by the bandits.
He stated this after a brief meeting with heads of security agencies in the state at the Government House, Minna on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Bello also cried out to President Muhammadu Buhari to deploy all necessary mechanisms to help in containing the situation which, he said, is now out of hand.
