The Federal Government has reiterated the importance of vigilance on the part of Nigerians as part of efforts to end attacks on schools and the abduction of students.
The Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, said this during an interview with PUNCH on Monday.
This comes after the Kaduna State Government on Monday confirmed that three teachers were kidnapped by bandits at the UBE Rema Primary School, Magajin Gari Ward 2 in the Brinin Gwari Local Government Area of the state.
Nwajiuba indicated that government could not secure every school in the country.
In the interview, the minister was asked what the government was doing to protect schools from incessant attacks by bandits.
He responded, “Eternal vigilance is the price for security. Every nation is always concerned about the consciousness of its people. The Federal Government cannot secure every house. Everybody needs to be vigilant. We have passed this message to all our schools so that anywhere they are, if there is any threat, they know the nearest security agency to contact.”
