President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that his administration will ensure that schools become safer and secure for teaching and learning.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, stated this in a statement in Abuja.
The statement said that the President reiterated the pledge when he received the news of the release of the Kuriga schoolchildren in Kaduna State.
It said the President emphasised the importance of collaboration between the federal and state governments for expected outcomes, especially on matters of security.
According to the statement, President Tinubu commended the National Security Adviser, the security agencies, and the Kaduna State Government for the dispatch and diligence with which they handled the situation.
The president in the statement noted that urgency, meticulous attention and tireless dedication are critical to optimal outcomes in cases of mass abductions and welcomes the release of pupils of a Tsangaya school in Sokoto State, commending all the parties to the feat for their valiant effort.
Ngelale said the president assures Nigerians that his administration is deploying detailed strategies to ensure that schools remain safe sanctuaries of learning, not lairs for wanton abductions.
