The Federal Government has declared that no ransom was paid for release of the 137 pupils kidnapped from Kuriga, Chikun Local Council of Kaduna State.
Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, made the disclosures yesterday in Abuja while opening a two-day capacity building workshop for desk/liaison officers of the Federal Ministry of Education, departments, parastatals, tertiary institutions and Federal Government Colleges on implementation of the ministerial deliverables and roadmap for the education sector.
The minister added that the census would track progress of students with a view to assessing the effectiveness of the education system. EQUALLY, a Social Democratic party chieftain, Yakubu Murtala Ajaka, yesterday, commended President Bola Tinubu for the feat. Nigeria’s manufacturers and businesses struggling due to the lingering energy crisis may have more to worry about, as oil price, yesterday, soared to $87.16 per barrel.
