Plateau State Government on Thursday revoked the licenses of all nursery, primary, and secondary schools in the state.
Commissioner of Education, Elizabeth Wampum, disclosed this at a press conference.
Wampum said the decision was taken after it was discovered that 5,000 private schools were operating without a license.
The commissioner noted that about 90 percent of the schools do not adhere to government policies and mandates.
She said all private Nursery/Pre-primary, Primary, Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary Schools in the State will have to revalidate their certification.
