Kogi State Government has said that schools across the state that were shut down over insecurity threat will resume on Monday, February 23, 2026.

The State Ministry of Education made this announcement in a statement on Friday in Lokoja, the state capital.

DAILY POST reports that the Kogi State government, on February 3, closed down public and private schools indefinitely across the state, citing preventive measures against insecurity.

However, in a statement signed by the ministry’s Director of Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Matthew Salami, the government ordered school heads and the general public to note the resumption date.

Salami said all school activities would continue as usual, and that both day and boarding house students were expected to resume on the specified date.

“The announcement applies to all schools in the state, and the ministry appreciated the cooperation of students, parents, and staff during the break. Further information will be communicated later,” Salami stated.
