Governor el-Rufai of Kaduna State government has suspended the resumption of schools across the state indefinitely.
The governor said this, while playing host to officials of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and other community-based associations at Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House on Monday.
According to him, the government took the decision because of the ongoing aggressive military operations in most parts of the state.
He noted that the ongoing operation was aimed at flushing out the bandits in their different hideouts, saying, we are concerned about the safety of our children who might be attacked by the angry bandits.
In view of this, the governor urged communities to be vigilant as the fleeing bandits might infiltrate their communities.
