FG will do all it can to rescue abducted schoolchildren, says minister of education
Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, minister of state for education, says the government will intensify efforts to secure the release of abducted schoolchildren.
Nwajiuba spoke yesterday at an event on the national campaign on out-of-school children in Kebbi state.
There have been several attacks on schools across the country within the past year, with hundreds of pupils and students abducted.
Among other incidents, BODEX BLOG had reported how gunmen abducted several students and teachers of FGC, Birnin Yauri, Kebbi, in June 2021.
The students have been freed in batches, with 14 students said to still be in captivity.
Speaking at the event, Nwajiuba expressed sadness over the development, and called for the support of relevant stakeholders to secure the release of the remaining FGC Kebbi students, as well as other children.
“My heart and soul are with all Nigerian children who are still in captivity. I stand with the parents in the circumstance. Government will continue to do all it can to free our children who are being held for what they know nothing about,” he said.
