All the released pupils of the Salihu Tanko Islamiyya School, Tegina, in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State have been reunited with their parents.
The Head Teacher of the school, Alhassan Garba, disclosed this to newsmen, yesterday in Minna.
“I personally supervised the handover of the pupils to their parents on Friday and Saturday.
“All the parents were happy to have their children back and willing to allow them to continue to acquire their education in the same school,” Garba said.
He said the management of the school would soon meet with the community to work out modalities for the reopening of the institution which had been closed for three months.
He said the Chairman of Rafi Local Government, Hon Ismail Dan Modibi, councillors and other stakeholders would soon deliberate on various forms of security measures to be adopted, if the school resumed normal academic activities.
