The National Association of Nigerian Students, South-West Zone D, has urged the Federal Government to establish a special intervention programme for victims of terrorism, saying children, teachers and families affected by terrorist attacks deserve long-term rehabilitation and support.
The students’ body made the appeal in an open letter issued on Friday by its Coordinator, Adeyemo Josiah, while commending President Bola Tinubu, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, and security agencies for the successful rescue of pupils and teachers abducted in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The association said the rescue restored hope to affected families and demonstrated that coordinated security operations could defeat criminality.
“While we celebrate this remarkable achievement, we respectfully make a passionate appeal to the Federal Government,” the statement read.
