The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has directed all public senior secondary schools in Abuja to close on or before Friday, November 28, 2025, citing urgent security concerns.
A memo from Aishatu Sani Alhassan, Director of School Services at the FCT Secondary Education Board, instructed school principals to end academic activities immediately and ensure students are safely dismissed.
Schools have also been advised to communicate the closure to learners, staff, and parents, adjust scheduled academic activities, and prepare to resume classes on the next official school day unless further directives are issued.
This decision follows recent attacks on schools in various parts of Nigeria, which have resulted in the abduction of students and heightened nationwide security concerns.
The FCTA emphasized that student safety remains a top priority and that all measures must be taken to protect pupils while maintaining order during the closure.
Authorities continue to monitor the security situation, with updates to be communicated as necessary.
