Nigeria’s governing party, the All Progressives Congress, APC has called for tighter security around schools.
The APC National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Senator John Akpanudoedehe made the call in a press statement in reaction to the release of the school students abducted from Government Science College, Kagara, Niger State.
This is also following the recent abduction of some girls from Government Girls Junior Secondary School Jangebe, Zamfara State
The party appreciated the efforts of everyone involved in ensuring the release of the Kagara students.
“It is truly heartwarming that the abductees have been reunited with their families and loved ones. We appreciate government’s efforts at all levels including non‑State actors which ensured the safe release of the abductees.
“While President Muhammadu Buhari government’s resolve and capacity to end cowardly attacks on soft targets is not in doubt, we must collectively do more to end the scourge, particularly tighter security around schools.
“We assure Nigerians that focus is on the safe release of schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Junior Secondary School Jangebe, Zamfara State” the statement reads.
