The Kwara State Government has ordered the immediate closure of Government High School and Government Day Secondary School in Ilorin, the state capital, following repeated incidents of student unrest.
This action comes after violent clashes between students, disruption of academic activities, and vandalism of school property in the two schools.
Confirming the closure on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, the Kwara State Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Dr Lawal Olohungbebe, said the decision was necessary to restore order and ensure safety.
Olohungbebe said only students currently writing the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) and their teachers would be permitted on school premises during the examination period.

He urged parents and guardians to ensure their children stay at home, warning that any student found flouting the directive will be apprehended by security officers.
The commissioner reiterated the Kwara State Government’s commitment to maintaining discipline and safety across all public schools in the state.
