Amnesty International, the Global rights organisation, said yesterday that education in Northern Nigeria is under threat in the wake of rising insecurity in the region.
It attributed the recent abduction of hundreds of boys in Government Science Secondary School in the town of Kankara, Katsina State, to “an attack on education in the northern parts of the country.” Director of Amnesty International Nigeria, Osai Ojigho, responding to Boko Haram’s claim of responsibility for the abduction of the students, condemned the attack. Ojigho said education is under attack in northern Nigeria, adding that “schools should be places of safety and no child should have to choose between their education and their life”.
