Olaide Oyelude, Katsina
Several schools in Katsina state, on Monday, resumed academic activities following a directive that schools in the state should reopen after a vacation occasioned by security challenges in the state.
The state government ordered the closure of all schools last December shortly after 344 students of Government Science School, Kankara were abducted by bandits.
Although the students were later released by their abductors, the government directed the indefinite closure of all schools in the state for the safety of the students.
The state government last Friday directed the schools to reopen on Monday.
Exempted from the government directive were boarding schools.
