The President of National Association of Nigerian Students, Sunday Asefon, on Sunday expressed concern over the continuous closure of schools in the northern part of the country, especially Kaduna State, over insecurity following kidnapping activities of bandits.
Asefon reiterated call on the Federal Government to declare the students’ kidnappers as terrorists, saying, “Anyone with propensity to kidnap and kill students in large numbers should be declared as terrorists to any nation.” The NANS president, who spoke in a chat with journalists in Ado Ekiti, disclosed that the students’ body’ had met with frontline Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Ahmed Gumi on the worrisome situation of kidnap and killing of students and impressed on the Islamic scholar to tell the bandits when opportunity availed to stay off schools.
He also said that NANS had resolved its factional crisis, with the Abdumajid Oyeniyi splinter group reunited with the main body and affirmed loyalty to Asefon-led national body in the interest of the over 41 million Nigeria students. Asefon said, “Governments should beef up security in schools. It is our belief that students should be going to schools with the assurance that they will be secured.
