John identified the schools as First Academy and Niret Private School, situated in Jos North and Jos South Local Government Areas, respectively.
He stated that the schools were shut down as part of the ongoing verification process for all private schools in the state.
According to him, the decision was made to uphold quality education for children in the region.
“We found that the facilities in these schools remain in poor condition, and their management has failed to meet the required standards.
"The learning environment is not conducive to effective teaching and learning, and we cannot allow this situation to persist.
"Two years ago, we shut down First Academy due to inadequate facilities. The school’s management appealed to the state government, yet today, nothing has improved."
