The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, PhD has hailed the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the release of the 287 students abducted in the Kuriga community of Kaduna State.
Governor Uba Sani, on Sunday morning, broke the news of the release of the students, saying they were unharmed.
Bandits had on March 7 invaded Kuriga, a community in Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State, and abducted the students.
Since the unfortunate incident, efforts had been on to ensure their safe release to be reunited with their parents. The combined efforts paid off as Governor Sani announced the release of the students.
Speaker Abbas, who was visibly elated on hearing the news, said President Tinubu is living up to the task of protecting the lives and property of Nigerians.
The Speaker also lauded the Kaduna State governor for his relentless efforts, which culminated in the release of the students, saying the governor has demonstrated good leadership.
Similarly, the Speaker hailed the National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, for the role he played in the release of the students.
Speaker Abbas Tajudeen equally commended the security agencies, especially the military, for their determination and commitment to the release of the Kuriga students.
He, however, urged the Armed Forces to be more steadfast and determined in their operations, as well as ensure the rescue of other Nigerians captured by criminal groups in different parts of the country.
Speaker Abbas also called for preventive measures against mass abductions.
