The Borno State Government has closed Government Day Secondary School Mussa after suspected Boko Haram terrorists abducted 42 students and children during an attack on May 16 in Askira/Uba Local Government Area, forcing authorities to relocate the school to Uba for safety.
The state Commissioner for Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, Lawan Wakilbe, announced the decision during a visit to the affected community on Monday.
The state government said the relocation was part of measures under the Safe Schools Initiative to protect students and ensure learning continues in a safer environment.
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum had earlier assured residents that efforts were ongoing to rescue the abducted students.
Parents of the victims appealed to the government and security agencies to intensify efforts for the students’ safe return.
