The Federal Ministry of Education says it has not issued any directive for schools across the country to shut down on November 24, 2025.
In a statement on Saturday, the ministry described a report circulating on social media alleging a nationwide shutdown as false and misleading.
It noted that it did not originate from the Federal Government, the Federal Ministry of Education, any State Ministry of Education, or any recognised security agency.
The disclaimer, signed by the ministry’s spokesperson, Folasade Boriowo, urged members of the public to rely strictly on verified information from official channels.
“Any announcement, advisory, or notice coming from unofficial or unverified sources should be ignored and not shared. Members of the public are urged to always verify the authenticity of information before circulating it in order to curb the spread of misinformation,” the statement read.
The ministry stated that only communications from the Federal Government, the Federal Ministry of Education, State Governments, and recognised security agencies should be considered authentic.

But instead debunking and castigating the sincere efforts of some leaders to mitigate the situations from escalation?
