Gov Uba Sani
Gov Uba Sani of Kaduna State has offered free education to the rescued students of Lea Primary School and Government Secondary School Kuriga, in Chikun Local Government Area of the State.
Recall that the students were abducted by bandits last week before they regained freedom.
They were subsequently rescued and reunited with their parents, three days after their release from captivity.
On Wednesday, the Secretary to the Kaduna State Government, Professor Abdulkadir Meyere, who was acting on behalf of Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, handed the children over to their parents.
Recall that the children’s freedom came after a harrowing two-week ordeal, having been abducted by bandits on March 7th and subsequently rescued in Zamfara State through the combined efforts of the military and local authorities.
During the presentation of the children to their families, Professor Meyere recounted the state’s relentless pursuit of their safe return.
He relayed Governor Sani’s deep involvement in the rescue mission, emphasizing the governor’s commitment to the children’s welfare and safety.
In a fresh announcement on Thursday (today), Governor Sani announced that his foundation will offer free education for the freed students.
According to Vanguard, the governor also promised to rebuild the primary and government secondary school in Kuriga and provide other basic infrastructure in the community.
