The Commissioner for Education in Yobe State, Mohammed Lamin, made this known.
He said 28 of the missing students returned Tuesday night while 20 more others returned Wednesday morning.
“This has brought down the 94 missing students realised at yesterday headcount to 48 this morning.
“We are still hopeful that more are returning soon,” he said.
The students were said to have been rescued by villagers in the bush around Dapchi.
