Buhari’s ministers, Emeka Nwajiuba, who is the Minister of State for Education, made the appeal.
The Muhammadu Buhari-led government has once again begged bandits and their sponsors to desist from kidnapping school pupils in the country, saying the trend was impairing the advancement of the education sector in the country.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Nwajiuba stated that the federal government was doing all it could to ensure that those in captivity were all rescued. “I am appealing to the bandits and whoever talks to them to leave our schools alone. We already have many issues from Kagara to Jingali to Jangebe and all the other places they have gone to just to disrupt schooling activities for our children.
“From there, they went to Buni-Yadi and from there, they are now parading all these places now. It has been seven, eight years now of constantly dealing with this matter. I think they are disrupting education, particularly in the North where we have huge challenges that are culturally and geo-spatially induced.
