In what looked like a miracle in Nigeria, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has commended efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the release of the 287 students abducted in Kuriga community of Kaduna State.
Abbas gave the commendation after Kaduna State, Governor Uba Sani, on Sunday morning, broke the news of the release of the students, saying they were unharmed.
Recalled that bandits had on March 7 invaded Kuriga, a community in Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State, and abducted the 287 students.
However, since the unfortunate incident, efforts had been on to ensure their safe release to be reunited with their parents. And the combined efforts of the federal and Kaduna state government 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.
He equally commended the security agencies, especially the military, for their determination and commitment in 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.
