The decision followed an emergency security meeting between the governor and top security chiefs in Yobe, where recent attacks on schools in other northern states were reviewed.
Officials say the closure is a preventive and precautionary step to safeguard students while security threats are being monitored.
According to a statement signed by the Director General of Press and Media Affairs to the Governor, Mohammed Mamman, the state cannot afford to take chances given the sensitive nature of the national security climate.
He confirmed that security assessments prompted the need for immediate action.
A separate notice issued by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Dr. Bukar Aji Bukar, instructed all boarding schools in the state to shut down “pending improvement in the security situation.”
School authorities have been mandated to ensure full compliance without delay.
Governor Buni also appealed to residents of Yobe State to intensify prayers for Nigeria’s leaders, security agencies, and for lasting peace to return to troubled communities across the country.
He assured the public that the government remains committed to protecting lives and supporting security operatives as they work to stabilise the region.
Yobe joins a growing list of northern states taking urgent steps to prevent school abductions, following multiple attacks on educational institutions in recent months.
Parents across the state have begun retrieving their children as the directive takes immediate effect.
