The Kaduna State Government has suspended the resumption of schools across local governments of the state until further notice.
His Excellency, Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai of the state, while addressing a stakeholders’ meeting on Monday, explained that the government made the decision due to the ongoing aggressive military operation against bandits in most parts of the state.
El-Rufai said in the meeting which was attended by members of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), as well as professional and community-based associations, that the operation was aimed at flushing the bandits out from their hideouts.
He added that the government was committed to protecting vulnerable children from being attacked by fleeing bandits who were already feeling the superior firepower of the military.
The Governor revealed that the military has deployed more troops to the state for the operation and warned the residents to be vigilant and mindful of unknown faces in their midst, saying fleeing bandits might infiltrate their communities.
