<h2>The Borno State Government announced the closure of all public and private primary and secondary schools across the state in two weeks due to floods that have displaced many residents.</h2>

On Monday, the Acting Director of Schools Services, Grema Bulama, said the development had displaced some people across the state.

“Due to the ongoing flooding across the state and its adverse effects, the Borno State Ministry of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation has directed a statewide closure of all public and private schools until Monday, Sept. 23.

“We urge all concerned parties to comply strictly with this directive.

“We regret any inconvenience this notice may have caused and we appreciate your understanding,” the&nbsp;statement added.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that schools were initially scheduled to open in Borno on Monday,&nbsp;Sept. 9, but some of the schools were occupied by people displaced by the flood.

There was a mild drama in Gwange Ward of Maiduguri, when people displaced by floods resisted attempts by government officials to make them vacate a school where they had been taking refuge since last week.

Meanwhile, the Borno Government has constituted a flood emergency response committee under the coordination of the Secretary to the State Government,&nbsp;Alhaji Bukar Tijjani.
