The minister mentioned that the resumption date was shifted due to the high cases of insecurity in the state. He noted that the schools in neighboring states were being targeted by kidnappers seeing huge ransoms, and so far, over 1,100 pupils have been kidnapped from schools in the north, especially in Kaduna and Niger.

Many schools which already resumed have sent their students back home to await the new resumption date.
