Yobe school shut for 12 years over insurgency reopens

The Yobe State Government has reopened the Government Senior Day Secondary School, Bara in Gulani Local Government Area of the state, 12 years after the school was closed due to insurgency.

The school alongside government secondary schools in Goniri and Babbangida operated from a temporary site at Government Secondary School in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, since 2012.

The newly appointed Principal of the school, Sulaiman Tamali, made this known when he visited the Gulani Local Government Council Chairman, Dayyabu Njibulwa, in Bara on Friday, November 8, 2024.

Tamali said the purpose of the visit was to introduce himself to the chairman and seek partnership with the council to move the school forward.

“With this partnership, together we will raise the standard of teaching and learning at the school,” Tamali said.

On his part, Njibulwa noted that the reopening of the school signalled a significant improvement in the security of the area and Yobe State at large.

The chairman promised to provide support to the Principal to enable him to achieve his mandate.

He also commended the Yobe State Government and security agencies for their roles in the peace currently enjoyed in the area.
