Parents of the students of Federal Government College (FCG) Kwali, Abuja have trooped to the school on Monday to evacuate their children.
The Federal Ministry of Education had earlier ordered the immediate closure of FCG, Kwali after a security breach on Sheda and Lambata villages and suburbs of Kwali Area Council which also threatens the school.
In a letter signed on Monday by the Ministry Director Press and Public Relations, Ben. Bem Goong, the Minister noted that the closure became necessary because of the insecurity in the area.
He added that the timely intervention of security agencies saved the situation.
The Education Minister, Adamu Adamu, in the letter also directed that arrangements should be made for final-year students to conclude their NECO (National Examination Council).
“The Minister also directed Principals of Unity Colleges across the country to liaise with security Agencies within their jurisdictions in order to forestall any security breach in our schools,” the statement said.
However, many parents were seen on Monday in the school evacuating their children.
