The Senate has called on President Bola Tinubu and security agencies to urgently rescue 25 students abducted from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, Kebbi State.
In a resolution passed yesterday, the Upper Chamber also urged President Tinubu, as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, to immediately recruit at least 100,000 additional military personnel, fully trained and equipped, to address the country’s rising security challenges and population growth.
This is coming days after the attack in Kebbi on the school in Maga, Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area. Despite some police presence, terrorists abducted 25 students, killed the vice principal, and wounded the principal.
The Senate’s resolutions underscore the urgency of rescuing the abducted students, expanding military capacity, and reviewing the Safe School Programme to prevent further attacks on Nigeria’s educational institutions.
