The President, Muhammadu Buhari, is
presently meeting with the students of Government Science Secondary School,
Kankara, in Katsina State.
Hundreds of the schoolboys were
kidnapped by suspected bandits on Friday, December 11.
They were released on Thursday, December 17 in Zamfara State
and taken to Katsina State on Friday morning amidst tight security.
The Personal Assistant on New Media to the President, Bashir
Ahmad, had tweeted that Buhari would be meeting with the students.
Buhari had initially refused to visit the school where the
students were kidnapped despite public outcry.
But the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed,
at a press conference on Friday, said although the President did not visit
Kankara, Katsina State where students were abducted, he coordinated rescue
efforts from his hometown, Daura.
When asked why the President failed to visit Kankara despite
that he was in the state as of the time of the abduction, the minister said,
“Yes, the president did not visit the town but he was busy coordinating the
entire operation to ensure the safe return of the students within the fastest
time possible.”
