According to him, over 300, 000 to 400,000 thousand students and pupils are at home after the incidence of Chibok school students’ kidnap without considering the effects on the internal administration of the school especially the learners (Tribune, 2021). This paper discusses the effects of closure of schools on school administration in Northern Nigeria.

Poor learning, poor quality of education, loss of interest in education and disruption of academic calendar and learning loss were identified as the effects of closure of schools on school administration in Northern Nigeria.
