The senate on Tuesday demanded an immediate investigation into the more than $30 million spent on Nigeria’s safe-school programme.
The red chamber also urged President Bola Tinubu to authorise the recruitment of 100,000 additional military personnel to tackle the growing threat of school abductions across the country.
The resolutions followed a motion of urgent national importance moved by Abdullahi Yahaya, senator representing Kebbi north.
Lawmakers’ anger was triggered by Monday’s attack on Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi state, where terrorists killed the vice-principal, wounded a school guard and abducted 25 students despite the presence of police.
