In a statement, the Ministry’s Press Officer, Bisi Lawani, said a task force had been inaugurated to enforce the directive across the 18 local government areas of the state.
The task force will visit schools to identify defaulters and ensure compliance with the registration requirement.
The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Professor Igbekele Ajibefun, had earlier directed the closure of schools that failed to register on the digital platform despite previous notices and opportunities to comply.
He warned that affected schools would remain closed indefinitely until they met the stipulated requirements.
Professor Ajibefun explained that the initiative was aimed at strengthening educational development, particularly in school infrastructure, planning and resource allocation.
He urged school proprietors and administrators to comply with the directive, stressing that the exercise was not intended to witch-hunt any institution but to ensure that schools operated within established guidelines.
The Commissioner also advised parents to confirm that their children’s schools had completed the registration to avoid possible disruption to their education.
The statement noted that DNEMIS was designed to improve the collection, management and accessibility of reliable educational data to support effective planning, monitoring and decision-making in the state’s education sector.
