Rivers Government will in September close schools operating illegally in the state, Mr David Briggs, Chairman, Rivers State Secondary Schools Board, has said.<\/p>\n

Briggs, who gave the assurance on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, urged proprietors of such schools to apply formally to the state Ministry of Education for registration and possible approval of the schools to avoid closure.<\/p>\n
