Adamawa schools remain open: Fintiri promises hard times for mischief makers
The Adamawa State Government has dismissed as completely false the rumors circulating in some quarters alleging that it has ordered the closure of schools across the state.
In a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Mr. Humwashi Wonosikou, the government described the reports as misleading, malicious, and deliberately crafted to cause unnecessary tension.
According to the statement, at no time did the government contemplate shutting down schools, nor was any directive issued to that effect.

The government insisted that the false information was the handiwork of mischief makers who are bent on sowing confusion and undermining the administration’s steady progress in the education sector.
The statement said Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, condemned the rumor in strong terms, saying it lacked basis, substance and truth.
He urged parents, students, teachers, and the general public to disregard the report and continue with all academic activities without interruption just as he re-emphasized that schools across the state remain open and fully operational.
Governor Fintiri warned that the government will not hesitate to take firm and decisive action against individuals or groups circulating falsehoods capable of destabilizing the state.
He stressed that the administration will not tolerate any attempt to sabotage its commitment to transform the education sector or to disrupt public peace through the spread of misinformation.
The Governor highlighted the significant gains his administration has recorded in education, noting that ongoing reforms and investments are aimed at strengthening learning environments and securing a brighter future for the state’s children.
He reiterated that his government remains focused on delivering quality education and will stay the course despite distractions from detractors.
Governor Fintiri appealed to residents to remain calm, vigilant, and supportive of government initiatives, emphasizing that collective cooperation is essential in building a stronger and more progressive Adamawa State.
He urged citizens to rely on verified information from official channels and to avoid amplifying unsubstantiated claims.
In a stern warning, the Governor cautioned those responsible for peddling the rumor to desist immediately or face the full weight of the law. He assured the public that the government will continue working tirelessly to make Adamawa a centre of educational excellence.
