VP Tinubu committed to securing release of abducted schoolchildren
VP Kashim Shettima assured Nigerians on Friday of President Bola Tinubu's unwavering commitment to securing the safe return of schoolchildren and others abducted across Nigeria. The assurance came after a special Jumma'a prayer at the National Mosque marking Democracy Day celebrations.
Tinubu has approved recruitment following recent abductions of schoolchildren and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area, Oyo State. "No matter how long the night is, it must give way to the light of dawn," Shettima stated, emphasizing the government's irrevocable commitment to restoring peace and stability nationwide.
The Vice President urged citizens to pray for peace and security, acknowledging that bonds uniting Nigeria outweigh differences dividing it. This follows increasing concerns about school kidnappings that have affected families across multiple states.
