The Federal Government has strongly condemned the deadly attack on Government Girls’ School, Maga, in Kebbi State, where armed assailants abducted several schoolgirls and killed the vice principal.
Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Alausa, described the attack as a devastating blow to the nation, noting that the government is working closely with security agencies and the Kebbi State Government to secure the safe return of the abducted students.
In a statement released on the Ministry of Education’s official X handle, Dr. Alausa expressed profound sorrow over the incident, extending heartfelt condolences to the victims’ families, the school community, and the entire state. He emphasized that no parent should face the horror of losing a child to violence, and no educator should be killed while performing their duty.
“This painful moment strengthens our resolve,” he said. “Our children deserve to learn in safety. Our teachers deserve to serve without fear. We will not relent until every school in Nigeria becomes a place of protection and hope.”
The Minister assured Nigerians that the Federal Government is committed to mobilizing all available resources to ensure the immediate rescue of the abducted girls and the arrest of the perpetrators.
