In my own little way to give back, I have decided that in February of every year, I would pay tuition fees for 10 Nigerian students, schooling in Nigerian public universities. I pray God sees me through.

How many days after?
Weren't y'all to speak up immediately it happened and call on the federal government and military to intervene. Y'all waited for days after uproar from Nigerians. Shame!
We aren't talking about random Nigerians, we are talking about school children.

FG CONDEMNS ABDUCTION OF STUDENTS, VOWS SAFE RETURN OF ALL CHILDREN
The Federal Ministry of Education has condemned the abduction of students in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State and Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State, describing the incidents as tragic and unacceptable.
The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, stated that attacks on schools and students are attacks on Nigeria’s future and assured that the Federal Government is working closely with security agencies to ensure the safe return of all abducted children.
“No child should face fear or violence in pursuit of education. Government remains committed to securing schools and protecting learners nationwide,” the Minister stated.
Dr. Alausa reaffirmed the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to strengthening school security through improved surveillance, emergency response systems, and implementation of the National Policy on Safety, Security and Violence-Free Schools.
The Ministry urged Nigerians to remain calm, avoid misinformation, and support ongoing rescue efforts while reaffirming solidarity with affected families and the governments of Oyo and Borno States.

CONTINUOUS ABDUCTION OF NIGERIAN SCHOOLCHILDREN AND THE COLLAPSE OF SCHOOL SAFETY
After congratulating Nigerian children as they celebrate their day today, my heart remains heavy and troubled, knowing that some Nigerian children have remained in captivity for years. It is a shame that days, weeks, months, and even years have passed while our children continue to languish in kidnappers’ dens, with their heartbreaking images still circulating on social media.
A nation that cannot protect its children from criminals has little but shame to present to the global community. No parent can bear the shame of being unable to protect his or her children, yet here we are as a nation, moving on while our children continue to suffer in forests and captivity for years. -PO
