The directive, which was issued on Wednesday by the state Commissioner of Education, Shehu Mohammed, also asked the students not to come to school on their uniforms but to appear on mufti during the examination.

Kaduna state government had on the advisory of the security agencies suspended resumption of schools indefinitely due to the rising cases of kidnap in the state.
