The Federal Government and governors yesterday came under intense pressure to immediately secure the release of teachers, pupils and students abducted by terrorists in Oyo and Borno states.
80+ teachers and students abducted May 15 from Oyo and Borno schools; nationwide protests from labor unions demanding rescue. Education insecurity indicates governance failure; shutdown threats jeopardize human capital and long-term economic growth.
