Niger State has announced the reopening of primary and secondary schools closed down due to banditry attacks in Rafi, Shiroro and Munya among other LGAs of the state.
Governor Abubakar Sani Bello made this known at the commissioning of the student twin hostels, staff quarters, lecture theatres and Fire Service Centre at the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai.
Bello said the schools were reopened following the tremendous improvement in security in the affected local governments, adding that government would continue to provide security in the affected areas to enable children to stay in school.
He said the new hostels and other structures would help reduce the accommodation challenges faced by students in the university.
