WHEN I read of the invasion of Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State, by armed men, it was a disturbing not just for me but the whole country. Governments at all levels must do all within their power to ensure that the lives of our children are safe.
It was not surprising when the national leadership of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) threatened to down tools describing the invasion as highly disturbing. The NUT Secretary General, Dr. Mike Ike Ene, stated that “in light of these recent developments, the Nigeria Union of Teachers may be compelled to down tools pending when it is safe for our members to teach and guide our pupils and students without fear of abduction by these faceless enemies of educational prosperity of the Nigerian nation.”
