This action comes in response to the alarming detection of suspected diphtheria cases in several local government areas, including Jos North, Wase, Jos South, and Bassa.
Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang's directive aims to prevent a potential outbreak and protect the wellbeing of students and school staff. The announcement was made through a statement from Rt Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Communication.
Schools that have recently resumed academic activities are also required to cease operations immediately, remaining closed until further notice.
The government is urging all stakeholders—school proprietors, educators, parents, and guardians—to fully comply with this order.
"This measure is crucial for ensuring the safety of our children and educational personnel during this health crisis," the commissioner emphasized.
The government expresses gratitude for the understanding and cooperation of the community as it navigates this challenging situation, reaffirming its commitment to public health.
As authorities monitor the situation closely, further updates will be provided to the public.
