PRESS RELEASE

27th May, 2026

FG CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF STUDENTS, VOWS SAFE RETURN OF ALL CHILDREN

The Federal Ministry of Education has condemned the abduction of students in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State and Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State, describing the incidents as tragic and unacceptable.

The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, stated that attacks on schools and students are attacks on Nigeria’s future and assured that the Federal Government is working closely with security agencies to ensure the safe return of all abducted children.

“No child should face fear or violence in pursuit of education. Government remains committed to securing schools and protecting learners nationwide,” the Minister stated.

Dr. Alausa reaffirmed the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to strengthening school security through improved surveillance, emergency response systems, and implementation of the National Policy on Safety, Security and Violence-Free Schools.

The Ministry urged Nigerians to remain calm, avoid misinformation, and support ongoing rescue efforts while reaffirming solidarity with affected families and the governments of Oyo and Borno States.

Participating in the AFTRA 13th Conference and 15th Roundtable in Gaborone, Botswana, was a powerful learning experience for me as a Global Teacher Prize Ambassador and Classroom Hero recognized by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria.

One message echoed throughout the conference:
“Nothing for teachers without teachers.”

The sessions emphasized the need for teacher inclusion in policymaking, stronger school leadership training, continuous professional development, digital transformation, and improved teacher welfare across Africa.

I return inspired and more convinced that Africa’s educational future depends on how seriously we invest in teachers.

Africa’s future will rise or fall on the strength of its teachers.
