The Federal Ministry of Education has dismissed false reports circulating on social media alleging that the Federal Government Girls’ College (FGGC), Monguno, Borno State, was attacked.
The ministry made this known in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by its Director of Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo.
Mrs Boriowo quoted the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, to have said that the report was false, misleading and capable of causing unnecessary panic among parents, guardians and the general public.
Mr Alausa said that there was no attack on the school, adding that all students, staff and boarding facilities remained safe and fully accounted for.
He added that academic and other school activities were uninterrupted in a peaceful and secure environment.
