The Kebbi State Government has announced the reopening of Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, where 24 schoolgirls were abducted before they were later rescued.
The Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Dr. Halima Bande, made this known while briefing journalists shortly after a security meeting with principals and heads of schools in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday.
The decision follows the abduction of students from the school in November last year, after which the victims were successfully rescued.
Bande stated that confidence has been restored among parents and students through counseling and the full deployment of security personnel, paving the way for the resumption of academic activities at the school.
