Immediate Action Advised:

The Abia State Ministry of Education has advised parents and guardians whose children or wards attend Emerald School to withdraw them from the institution promptly. This move is in the best interest of the student’s safety and welfare.

The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the welfare and safety of Abia’s children as a top priority. It warned that any illegal attempt to reopen the school would be met with government action.
