The Kogi State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers on Tuesday staged a peaceful protest in Lokoja to condemn the increasing cases of schoolchildren abductions and attacks on educational institutions across the country.
The protest, organised in line with a directive from the national leadership of the union, was aimed at drawing attention to growing insecurity in schools, including the recent abduction of teachers and pupils in Oyo state and the kidnapping of 48 schoolchildren in Borno State.
Addressing members during the protest, the state chairman of the union, Comrade Abayomi Ayoola, expressed concern over the recurring attacks on schools, describing the situation as disturbing and traumatic for the education sector.
Ayoola said the union was particularly saddened by the recent abduction of teachers and pupils in Oyo State and called on the Federal Government to intensify efforts to secure the release of all victims still in captivity.
