    The Nation reports that the Federal Government has directed the reopening of 47 Unity Schools previously closed due to insecurity, signalling a push to restore learning under strengthened safety arrangements.

    The return is expected to be phased, with security readiness and local risk context shaping how quickly each school fully resumes.

    Verification: Premium Times and PulseWire also reported the reopening directive and the security-driven context behind earlier closures.

    Analysis/Echotitbits take: Reopening is only step one. Watch for measurable protection: perimeter hardening, early-warning networks, rapid response protocols and sustained funding—without turning schools into conflict zones.
