The Federal Ministry of Education has directed the closure of all Federal Government Colleges (FGCs) in Abuja following security threats on the unity colleges located in the FCT.

The spokesperson for the ministry, Ben Goong, confirmed to journalists in Abuja on Monday that the ministry had ordered the evacuation of students from the schools.

Mr Goong said the decision was due to rising insecurity and threat to the lives and wellbeing of the students.
