However, speaking at the Bauchi State Executive Council meeting with newsmen, Tilde said the new policy will only be enforced whenever and wherever it was possible.

Noting the reason for the development, he said it was for moral decadence, which according to him, has become prevalent among students of secondary schools.

Tilde said private schools would follow suit and separate the boys from the girls.

The males would be attending their academic activities in one institution and the females in another separate institution.
