On Thursday, Plateau state’s nursery, primary, and secondary schools had their licenses withdrawn by the state government.
At a press conference, Elizabeth Wampum, the commissioner of education, revealed this.
Wampum claimed that the choice was made after it was found that 5,000 private schools were functioning illegally.
The commissioner noted that about 90 per cent of the schools do not adhere to government policies and mandates.
“This is to inform the general public that the operating license of all private Nursery/Pre-primary, Primary, Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary Schools in the State will have to revalidate their certification,” Wampum said.
