The Federal government has vowed to rescue students of Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, GGCSS, Maga in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
A statement by the Minister of Information and Orientation Mohammed Idris indicates that the security and intelligence agencies have been issued clear directives to locate, rescue, and safely return the students, and to ensure that the perpetrators face justice assuring that the Federal Government will not relent until this objective is achieved.
It adds, “President Bola Tinubu has reiterated that protecting every Nigerian, especially schoolchildren, remains a solemn responsibility of the government, and expresses deep concern and solidarity with the families of the female students abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga. The federal government shares in the pain and is firmly committed to bringing the girls home safely.”
The government condemns the reprehensible attack on innocent students and the killing of school officials who were carrying out their noble duty.
The Minister assures Nigerians that strengthening internal security remains a top priority and that government is recalibrating the nation’s military, policing, and intelligence capabilities to more effectively prevent these attacks and respond with greater speed and precision whenever threats arise.
Nigeria, he adds, is also reinforcing cooperation with regional partners through ECOWAS, the African Union, and the Multinational Joint Task Force to secure the borders and disrupt terrorist and criminal networks.
