According to Wakilbe, the state government is continuing efforts to secure the release of the abducted students, who were kidnapped on June 29 during attacks on communities in the Lassa axis.
The Borno State government has confirmed receiving a proof-of-life video showing dozens of students abducted by terrorists from Government Day Secondary School, Lassa, in Askira/Uba Local Government Area, nearly three weeks after the attack.
The government disclosed this on Saturday during the Borno State Education Summit held in Maiduguri, where the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Abba Wakilbe, played the 15-second video during a presentation on the security challenges confronting the state's education sector.
The summit, themed "Strengthening Safe, Inclusive and Gender-Responsive Education: Building Back Better," was organised in partnership with the Malala Fund.
According to Wakilbe, the state government is continuing efforts to secure the release of the abducted students, who were kidnapped on June 29 during attacks on communities in the Lassa axis.
