President Buhari Orders Deployment of NSCDC to Schools in Northeast
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the deployment of personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to schools in the Northeast region of the country. This move is aimed at ensuring the safety and security of students and teachers in the region, which has been plagued by insurgency and banditry.
According to a statement issued by the Presidency, the President gave the directive following a meeting with the NSCDC Commandant-General, Ahmed Audi, and other security chiefs. The deployment is expected to commence immediately and will involve the deployment of personnel to schools in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, and Bauchi states.
The President's decision is seen as a proactive measure to prevent attacks on schools and ensure that students can learn in a safe and secure environment. The Northeast region has been a hotspot for insurgency and banditry, with many schools and educational institutions being targeted by militants.
The deployment of NSCDC personnel to schools in the region is expected to provide an additional layer of security and help to deter attacks. The NSCDC is a paramilitary organization responsible for providing security and civil defence services in Nigeria.
The President's decision has been welcomed by many Nigerians, who have expressed concern about the safety of students and teachers in the region. The deployment of NSCDC personnel to schools in the Northeast is seen as a positive step towards ensuring the security and well-being of students and teachers in the region.
