President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies and relevant ministries to strengthen protection measures for schools located in high-risk areas across the country.
Tinubu gave the directive in his message marking the 2026 Children’s Day celebration on Wednesday, PUNCH Online reports.
The President said the government would intensify coordinated rescue efforts for abducted children and vulnerable citizens, particularly those recently kidnapped in Oyo State and Borno State.
“As we mark this special day, which coincides with Eid-el-Kabir, some Nigerian children and their teachers in Oyo and Borno should be with their families, but are being held captive by criminals.
