“President Tinubu Praises Security Forces for Successful Rescue of Abducted Students in Kaduna and Sokoto”

I welcome the news of the release of the Kuriga school children in Kaduna State. This reemphasizes the importance of collaboration between the federal government and states for expected outcomes, especially on matters of security.

The National Security Adviser, the Security Agencies, and the Kaduna State Government must be commended for the dispatch and diligence with which they handled this situation. It is clear that incipient urgency, meticulous attention, and tireless dedication are critical to optimal outcomes in cases of mass abductions.

I also welcome the release of pupils of a Tsangaya school in Sokoto State, and commend all the parties to the feat for their valiant effort.

I once again assure Nigerians that my administration is deploying detailed strategies to ensure that our schools remain safe sanctuaries of learning, not lairs for wanton abductions.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander In Chief of Armed Forces,
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
