The military operations going on in Kaduna State have delayed the resumption of schools in the state, the state government has announced.
This was even as the state government lauded the military and police high commands for the ongoing security operations against armed bandits across the state.
A joint statement issued by the Commissioners for Education and Internal Security, Shehu Mohammed and Samuel Aruwan, on Friday, praised the doggedness and courage of officers and troops carrying out air and ground operations around the Kaduna/Niger/Katsina/Plateau and Zamfara boundaries
The statement noted that Kaduna State had also requested the military and police high commands to expand the operations to newly identified hideouts.
“As the security operations proceed, the Kaduna State government has been advised to postpone the resumption of schools, previously scheduled for resumption on August 9 and to pause the continuation of infrastructure projects and construction in high-risk areas, while awaiting further assessments by the security agencies.
“The Kaduna State government has accepted the security advisory and hereby directs total compliance by all schools and agencies involved in delivering infrastructure projects in high-risk areas. New dates for school resumption will be announced based on security assessments.
“While wishing the military and security agencies success against the bandits, the state government appeals for the understanding of citizens for any inconvenience and urges all residents to be patient and to report any security issues to security agencies.”
