President Bola Tinubu has directed Vice President Kashim Shettima to visit Kebbi State.
President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday.
Shettima will sympathise with the Kebbi State Government and reassure parents and guardians of the kidnapped schoolgirls that efforts were underway for their swift release.
The President also extended condolences to the military for the loss of soldiers, including Brigadier General Musa Uba, who died while on active duty combating insurgents in Borno State.
President Tinubu commended Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris for efforts made to avert the kidnapping, while decrying the security breach that allowed the abduction of the girls from their boarding school in Maga.
He urged communities nationwide, especially in high-risk areas, to provide information that could assist security forces.
