Presidential hopeful Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the government to act with resolve in the fight against terrorism to safeguard educational institutions and the broader community. During a visit to Practicing Nursery and Primary School in Agulu, Anambra State, on Thursday, Obi emphasized that improving education quality is critical for national development.
When asked about addressing school insecurity following the abduction of pupils and teachers in Oyo State, Obi stated that success hinges on the decisiveness and political will of those in power. He said, “We must secure not just our schools but the entire society. Being decisive is key. During my tenure in government, we ensured safety in Anambra through strong will and determination. The same approach is needed to defeat terrorists.”
