The Cross River State Government has closed 20 schools without proper approval, taking action in four local government areas, according to a statement by the Commissioner for Education, Stephen Odey. The affected schools are spread across Calabar Municipality, Calabar South, Odukpani, and Akamkpa Local Government Areas. Odey warned that any reopened schools without government authorization would face consequences.
The enforcement, carried out by the Ministry of Education's Department of Quality Assurance, aims to ensure all schools adhere to regulations and offer children a properly authorized and monitored learning environment. This enforcement is not limited to the four areas and the government plans to extend the exercise to all 18 local government areas to ensure compliance.
The ministry has urged proprietors to obtain necessary permissions before starting operations, emphasizing that non-compliance will result in sanctions.
