Rivers State Government says it will begin a statewide enforcement exercise targeting private schools that are not properly approved. The Ministry of Education has issued a public notice stating that the exercise will start on Monday, June 15, 2026. Multiple reports describe the move as part of efforts to ensure education quality and regulatory compliance across the state. Under the planned action, authorities intend to close unapproved private schools and enforce existing education regulations. The notice indicates the government is preparing to carry out the exercise across Rivers State rather than in a single area. While the reports do not provide specific details on the criteria used to determine approval status or the exact enforcement steps, they agree on the timing and the overall objective of removing unapproved private schools from operation. Both outlets report that the Ministry of Education is the source of the directive and that the enforcement will begin as scheduled on June 15, 2026.
