President Muhammadu Buhari has said his administration has
zero-tolerance for kidnapping, especially when it concerns school children.
He also said he has directed the armed forces across the
entire country to deal with security breaches, including terrorism aimed at
disrupting the educational system.
The President’s reactions came against the backdrop of
attacks in Kaduna State, where educational institutions have been the main
targets.
Buhari said this while declaring the Alumni Association of
the National Defence College (AANDEC), summit open in Abuja.
He said, “We have zero tolerance for kidnapping, especially
of school children and we shall deal with such outrages decisively. The
disruption of our educational system and economic activities will not be
tolerated”.
The President also explained that the cooperation of
citizens would play invaluable roles in bringing law and order to various parts
of the country.
On the issue of kidnapping which has assumed an alarming dimension,
Buhari said he will not relent in efforts to tackle it once and for all.
“I have directed that all cases relating to security
breaches, economic sabotage and wanton destruction of lives and property across
the entire nation be immediately addressed.
“Let me add here that the Armed Forces have been deployed in
virtually all states of the Federation to combat any security challenges,’’ he
said.
He reiterated that the National Security Strategy 2019 was
very clear on all of the issues related to safety, with the need for
individuals, the private sector, civil society groups, media, politicians,
traditional institutions and government functionaries to key into the
endeavour.
He said, “This is the time to enhance Corporate Social
Responsibility and giving back to the society.’’
The President equally spoke on the need for national
cohesion, insisting that future leaders must be trained to effectively take
over leadership.
”Above all, we must harness the strength in our diversity to
ensure a cohesive and forward-looking nation”, he said.
