The National Association of Nigerian Student(NANS), has advised the federal government to declare bandits perpetrating violence and kidnap in Northern Nigeria as terrorists. This is as incidents of abduction of schoolchildren, killing and maiming of innocent citizens continue to trend in the region. NANS said the abduction of over 300 schoolgirls from Government Girls Junior Secondary Jangebe, Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State in the early hours of Friday, was an indictment and clear indication of the failure of the nation’s security apparatuses. Again, NANS advised the government to convene a National Security Summit towards galvanizing the best brains in providing ideas and innovation to combat the country’s multi-faceted security challenges.
