“I am deeply concerned about the alarming timeline of school abductions in Northern Nigeria under President Buhari's tenure. The repeated incidents of abductions have had a devastating impact on the safety and well-being of students in the region. It is disheartening to witness the continued vulnerability of educational institutions and the students who should feel secure within them.I am disappointed with the government's response to these abductions. It is crucial that we see a proactive and effective approach to prevent such incidents and ensure the safe return of abducted students. There is a pressing need for increased security measures, including heightened military presence, intelligence gathering, and cooperation between security agencies to address these security challenges.
Furthermore, international collaboration is paramount in tackling the extremist groups responsible for these abductions. We should advocate for regional cooperation and seek support from the international community to combat these groups and prevent further atrocities.
Let us not forget the victims and affected communities who have endured immense trauma. They need our empathy, support, and resources for psychological rehabilitation and the rebuilding of educational institutions that have been targeted.
It is crucial that the government, local authorities, and international partners work together to address the root causes of these abductions, ensure the safety of students, and provide an environment conducive to education and development. Only through collective efforts can we bring an end to this distressing timeline and protect the future of Northern Nigeria's youth.”
