The recent reopening of public schools ordered by the Kaduna State Government has been described as a step in the right direction.
Following the abduction of students in some northern states towards the end of last year, governors ordered the closure of schools to prevent further abductions by terrorists, with the exception of Kebbi, Niger and Kwara states.
Public schools in Kaduna State were reopened on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, following improvements in the security architecture across the North and the country as a whole.
Some teachers and students who spoke to DAILY POST expressed gratitude for the steps taken by both the federal and Kaduna State governments to ensure that citizens live peacefully and are able to go about their normal way of life.
A teacher at Government Day Secondary School, GRA, Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, Mr Adamu Sunday, expressed optimism that the Kaduna State Government has demonstrated concern for the security of not only schools but also the wider citizenry, enabling people to conduct their businesses without hindrance from undesirable elements bent on destabilising the country.
According to him, “Nigerians should team up against forces of darkness. For us to defeat terrorists going from one end to the other causing fear in the hearts of Nigerians, we should unite ourselves and work as an entity to be able to stand against their evil plan.”
He thanked the state governor, Senator Uba Sani, for showing concern about developments in the state and for consulting stakeholders on the best approach to managing the security situation.
He said, “The governor has proved to the people of the state that he is responsible to the welfare of all. He has also shown that he is a man of peace and wants all residents in the state to be safe and go lawfully about their businesses without any challenge.”
