Insecurity: FG orders closure of Abuja college

The Federal Ministry of Education has ordered the immediate closure of the Federal Government College (FGC), Kwali in the Kwali Area Council of Abuja.

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu gave the directive on Monday via a statement made available to The Star by the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Mr Ben Goong.

Adamu said the closure became necessary following security breach on Sheda and Lambata villages, suburbs of Kwali Area Council, which also threatened FGC Kwali.

He said the timely intervention of security agencies was able to save the situation.

Adamu further directed that arrangements should be made for final year students to conclude their NECO examinations.

The minister also directed Principals of Unity Colleges across the country to liaise with security agencies within their jurisdictions to forestall any security breach in the schools.
