Stakeholders in Nigeria’s education sector have condemned the abduction of students and the killing of a teacher during an attack on an examination centre in Lassa, Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State.
The incident, which occurred on Monday, has drawn calls for improved security in schools, even as the Nigerian Army announced the rescue of some of the abducted students.
Reacting to the attack, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National Parent-Teacher Association of Nigeria (NAPTAN), Chief Deolu Ogunbanjo, described the development as disturbing and called on the government to strengthen security around schools and examination centres.
