TETFund Boss Condemns Attack On Schools

Mr Elias Bogoro, the Executive Secretary, Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), has condemned the spate of attacks on schools by insurgents
. Bogoro made the condemnation while receiving members of National Association for Peaceful Elections in Nigeria (NAPEN), an NGO, in Abuja on Monday. He expressed hope that the Safe School Initiative of the Federal Government would make learning institutions in the North East safe for students and teachers. “We are aware of how school children have been maimed and slaughtered literarily in schools by insurgents and the midnight attacks being carried out on hapless and harmless children, it is unacceptable. “The challenge of insecure schools in the North East today is a very serious issue; we cannot overlook it and turn our faces the other way.
“If it were possible that we can offer any measure of support to complement the pivotal role that President Goodluck Jonathan is undertaking through the Safe School Initiative, it will be wonderful.
