The Bauchi State Governor, Mallam Isa Yuguda, has ordered the evacuation of 200 students from Government Girls Secondary School, Yana.

This followed the attack on the school by gunmen located in Yana, Shira Local Government Area of Bauchi State, last Sunday, which led to the death of a five-year-old girl.

Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Ibrahim Aminu, told newsmen on Monday that the students were evacuated to enable the school authorities carry out renovation work on the building burnt down during the attack.

He said, “The state government ordered the evacuation of the students to enable renovation work on the buildings destroyed, but the evacuation is temporary because they will only stay away for three weeks.

“The only students in the school now are the final year students writing WAEC because the JSS 1-3 and SSS 1-2 are on break so we want to use this period to renovate the destroyed buildings to enable them learn in conducive environment when they resume.”

The commissioner denied insinuation that the evacuation of the students was connected to the attack launched in the area on Sunday, assuring that adequate security measures have been put in place by the state government to ensure the security of not only the students of the school, but all the schools in the state.
