Pending the decision of the Federal Government on whether to close its colleges in Yobe, Borno, and Adamawa States, the Yobe State government has relocated students of the school attacked by Boko Haram.
An attack was launched at a Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, last Tuesday. The incident left over 50 teenage students dead.
Speaking Friday in Damaturu on the relocation, the Yobe State Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Mohammed Lamin said the action was to enable the students continue their education.
He also said the move would prevent parents and guardians from withdrawing their children and wards from secondary schools at Buni/Yadi and Goniri Secondary School, 24 kilometres north of the destroyed college.
He said the relocation exercise had become inevitable, as students in the council area could not continue to live and learn because of the fear and apprehension caused by insecurity of lives and property in the council area.
According to him, the state government and the security agents were not taking any chances in its bid to protect the lives of students and their teachers in Gujba council area of the state.
“Even though the military and other security agents have assured us of protecting lives and property in schools, the relocation of students to other schools was to enable our children and grand children prepare for their examination, which is scheduled to take place in the next two or three months,” said Lamin.
