The Federal Government has announced the closure of 47 Federal Unity Colleges due to escalating security issues nationwide.
In a notice released to all principals of Unity Colleges, Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, Director of Secondary Education under the Office of the Minister of Education, confirmed the decision. This move follows recent kidnappings of schoolchildren in Kebbi and Niger states.
