Government bans visitors from girls’ schools

The Adamawa State government has ordered principals of girls'
secondary schools not to allow visitors into their school premises.

The Adamawa State Commissioner of Women Affairs and Social
Development, Aliyu Tola made the disclosure in Yola yesterday while
briefing newsmen on activities outlined by the ministry to commemorate
the International Women's day in the state.

According to Tola, the state government took the preventive measures
apart from the security strategies already put in place to avert the
abduction of any school girl in the state.

He said following the abduction of the Dapchi school girls the state
government summoned all principals of secondary schools and took
statistics of all girls only secondary schools in the state and where
they were located, before ordering the principals to control the entry
of visitors into such schools.

"The state government has already taken a decisive action since the
Dapchi school girls abduction and part of the measures taken apart
from the security measures put in place is to know where all the girls
schools are located and to ensure that visitors are not allowed entry
into those schools," he said.
