President Bola Tinubu has instructed Vice President Kashim Shettima to visit Kebbi State on Wednesday to convey the government’s sympathy to the state authorities.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the president assured parents and guardians of the kidnapped schoolgirls that the government would ensure their swift release.
He commended Governor Mohammed Nasir Idris for the efforts made to avert the kidnapping and lamented the security breach that led to the regrettable abduction of girls from the boarding school in Maga, Kebbi State.
“I urge you in areas facing security challenges, to share information and intelligence that will help the military, the police and the DSS to make the communities safe,” he said.
Tinubu expressed sadness over the abduction of the schoolgirls, despite intelligence warnings of a possible strike by the bandits.
