The Federal Government has announced the reopening of 47 Federal Unity Colleges (commonly known as unity schools) that were previously shut down due to heightened security threats.

The announcement was made in a statement issued on Thursday by the Federal Ministry of Education, signed by its Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade.
The ministry stated that the decision reaffirms the government’s commitment to protecting students while ensuring uninterrupted education. “After the strengthening of security architecture within and around the affected schools, academic activities have fully resumed. Students have returned safely to their campuses, with many currently concluding their December academic programmes, while others have successfully completed their examinations,” the statement read in part.
It further assured parents and the public that student safety remains a priority, with ongoing collaboration between the government and security agencies to maintain stability in school environments.
“The Federal Government remains resolute in its responsibility to protect every Nigerian child and to uphold their fundamental right to education in a safe and secure environment,” the statement emphasized. “This administration places strong emphasis on human capital development and recognises education as a critical pillar for national growth and development. Accordingly, it remains determined to prevent any disruption to the academic calendar.”
The safe return of students and the completion of examinations in several colleges were highlighted as evidence of the government’s efforts to keep education on track amid challenges.
The schools were initially closed in late November 2025 following a series of student abductions in northern states, including incidents in Kebbi and Niger. An abrupt reopening directive earlier in December had raised concerns among some parents about exam schedules, but the latest update confirms full resumption and progress in academic activities.
