President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given a marching order to security agencies to rescue the remaining female students of the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, whom terrorists recently abducted.
Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President, gave the directive on Sunday following recent reports that bandits broke into a hostel in Gusau in Zamfara state and whisked away some students of a federal university.
Tinubu described the development as a reprehensible act of abduction.
He said the President believed there was no moral justification for such heinous crimes against innocent victims whose only “offence” was their pursuit of quality education.
“While the President wholeheartedly commiserates with all families directly impacted by this sad incident, he affirms that his administration has a solemn duty to protect every Nigerian citizen, and in line with this commitment, assures the families of the abducted students that no effort will be spared in ensuring their safe return.
“The President pledges that the federal government is determined to ensure that educational institutions remain sanctuaries of knowledge, growth, and opportunity, and totally free from the menacing acts of terrorists,” he stated.
