President Bola Tinubu has declared that schools across the country must be safe and secure for learning.
The declaration came as the president welcomed news from Kaduna of the release of the Kuriga school children who had been held hostage by kidnappers.
According to a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President emphasised the importance of collaboration between the federal government and states for expected outcomes, especially on matters of security.
President Tinubu commended the National Security Adviser, the Security Agencies, and the Kaduna State Government for the dispatch and diligence with which they handled this situation, noting that incipient urgency, meticulous attention, and tireless dedication are critical to optimal outcomes in cases of mass abductions.
He also welcomed the release of pupils of a Tsangaya school in Sokoto State, commending all the parties to the feat for their valiant efforts.
The President assured Nigerians that his administration is deploying detailed strategies to ensure that schools remain safe sanctuaries of learning, not lairs for wanton abductions.
