Sokoto State announces that schools reopen on Monday, September 14, 2026, for the 2026/2027 academic session. Both public and private schools are scheduled to resume academic activities that day, according to the state government’s directive.
The outlets report that boarding schools will reopen earlier, on Sunday, September 13, 2026. However, schools that were previously closed because of insecurity will not reopen and are set to remain shut until further notice.
While the reporting is consistent on the reopening date and the status of insecurity-affected areas, the phrasing varies slightly across outlets—one emphasises that the resumption applies broadly while highlighting that affected locations remain closed, and the other specifies the public/private split and the timing difference for boarding schools. Both accounts attribute the decision to the Sokoto State Government.
