The Federal Ministry of Education has dismissed reports claiming that schools across Nigeria would be shut down on November 24, 2025.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the ministry described the widely circulated social media messages as “false and misleading,” insisting that no such directive originated from the Federal Government, the Ministry of Education, any State Ministry of Education, or any recognised security agency.

The ministry’s spokesperson, Folasade Boriowo, urged Nigerians to rely solely on verified information from official channels.

“Any announcement, advisory, or notice coming from unofficial or unverified sources should be ignored and not shared,” the statement read. “Members of the public are urged to always verify the authenticity of information before circulating it in order to curb the spread of misinformation.”

The ministry emphasised that only communications from the Federal Government, the Federal Ministry of Education, State Governments, and authorised security agencies should be regarded as credible.

The clarification comes a day after the Federal Government ordered the temporary closure of 41 federal secondary schools located in high-risk areas, following recent abductions in Niger and Kebbi states. Several state governments, including Kwara, Plateau, Katsina, and Niger, have also shut down schools amid growing security concerns. In Taraba State, Governor Agbu Kefas directed all public and private schools to immediately deboard their students as a precautionary measure.
