Students of Government junior Secondary School, and pupils of LEA primary school, Kuriga in Chikun local government area, Kaduna State were in high spirit when the Governor, Uba Sani visited the schools where he was received by cheering students, teachers, and appreciative members of the community.
The governor visited the schoolchildren six months after their release from Kidnappers’ den.
They abducted by bandits in March 2024 but were released by their abductors after about 16 days in captivity.
The governor in the latest visit to the schools had a warm and robust engagement with the students, and inquired about their experiences since their return and their progress in school.
The students’ responses were positive and inspiring, with many expressing gratitude for their freedom and the support they have received.
Governor Sani assured the students of his administration’s total commitment to their safety and security, saying, “We will do everything possible to ensure that you learn in a safe and secure environment.”
The governor also inspected the remodelling work carried out at the school, which has been fully equipped with modern facilities. He expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done, saying it was executed to specification and of high quality.
The visit was seen by stakeholders as a morale booster for the students, who have put the bitter experience of their abduction behind them and are now focusing on their studies.
