The Kaduna State Governmen t has announced an indefinite postponement of the resumption of schools in the state earlier scheduled for August 9.
The state government had earlier denied ordering the postponement after newspapers widely reported Governor Nasir El-Rufai announcing it at a meeting with stakeholders in the sector two weeks ago.
The state commissioner of education, Muhammad Shehu, had then said the government was standing by the earlier announced date of August 9.
But in another twist on Friday, the government through a statement jointly signed by the the Commissioner of Internal Security and Education, Samuel Aruwan, and Mr Shehu, said following the review of the security situation in the state, the government has approved the suspension of schools resumption until further noticed.
