The Federal Ministry of Education has categorically refuted reports alleging that Federal Government Girls' College (FGGC), Monguno, Borno State, was attacked, describing the claims as false, misleading and capable of causing unnecessary panic among parents, guardians and the general public.

This was issued by the Director, Press and Public Relation, Mrs. Boriowo Folasade, despite the Nigerian Television Authority reporting that an attack happened at the school.

The Ministry confirmed that FGGC, Monguno remains safe and secure, with all students, staff and boarding facilities fully protected and accounted for. Academic, boarding and other school activities continue uninterrupted in a peaceful environment.

The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, reaffirmed that the safety, security and welfare of learners in all Federal Government Colleges remain a top priority. He noted that FGGC, Monguno operates under robust security arrangements to safeguard students, staff and school facilities.

The Minister further clarified that no student of FGGC, Monguno was involved in the incident being falsely linked to the school. He explained that the affected individuals were remedial students outside the college, while the Borno State Government is taking the necessary steps to ensure their safety and welfare.

The Ministry urged the media, bloggers and social media users to verify information through official sources before publication and advised the public to disregard the false report in its entirety.
