Families on Saturday evacuated their children from the Federal Government Girls’ College (FGGC) Bwari, on the outskirts of Abuja, as security concerns in the area grew.
The scene outside the school gate was marked by anxious parents carrying luggage, assisting their children, and making arrangements to return home.
Many students, some still in uniform, packed belongings into vehicles while others helped classmates gather their items.
The federal government on Friday ordered the immediate shutdown of 47 Federal Unity Colleges nationwide, including FGGC Bwari.
