Nigeria’s governing party, the All Progressives Congress, APC has called on security agencies to unmask the criminal sponsors behind targeted attacks on the educational institutions in the country.
In a press statement signed by the APC National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, the party expressed its delight in the release of students who were recently abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, Talata-Marafa Local Government Area of Zamfara State, North West, Nigeria.
APC noted that its administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari would do everything possible to enhance the security and well-being of the people.
“While the Party commends all stakeholders for their selfless roles in securing the release of the schoolgirls, the APC restates President Buhari directive to subnational entities to provide adequate security in all schools within their areas of responsibility.
“From Dapchi to Jangebe, the President Buhari government has time and again displayed its proactiveness and capacity to address the heinous abductions and ensure quick and safe release of the students. However, the real task is for our security services to unmask the criminal sponsors and enemies of Nigeria behind the wave of targeted attacks on educational institutions in the country,” he said.
He said they would achieve this through synergised operations of the security services and with the use of modern technological tools to ensure better intelligence gathering, vigilance, surveillance and collaboration with communities and stakeholders at different levels.
