After the success recorded in rescuing the abducted pupils and teachers of the Government Primary School, Kuriga, Kaduna State, President Bola Tinubu has vowed that his administration would ensure that schools become safer and secure for teaching and learning.
This is contained in a statement released on Sunday in Abuja by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale.
Ngelale said that the President reiterated the pledge when he received the news of the release of the Kuriga schoolchildren in Kaduna State.
The President also used the opportunity to welcome the release of pupils of a Tsangaya school in Sokoto State.
He commended all security agencies involved in the rescue operations for their valiant effort, adding that his administration was deploying detailed strategies to ensure that schools in the country remained “safe sanctuaries of learning, not lairs for wanton abductions.”
Bandits had on March 7 abducted 287 pupils and teachers at Local Government Education Authority Teachers Primary School, Kuriga, in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
