Declare State of Emergency on Education, Atiku Tells FG

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has called on the federal government to declare a state of emergency on the country’s education sector.

Atiku made this call in reaction to the recent waves of abduction of school pupils.

Atiku stated this via his official Twitter account:  “With the latest Kaduna school abduction, I repeat my call for the FG to declare a state of emergency in the education sector, and to post 24-hour armed guards at every school in the affected and neighbouring states. No expense must be spared to keep our schools safe,” He tweeted

Another tweet read: “With 13.5 million children, Nigeria is already the world headquarters for out of school kids. This can only make things worse. It behoves on us as a nation to act decisively and excise this cancer of school abductions from our polity with clinically precise policies.”
