The Federal Government is taking decisive action against the kidnappers of school children, according to the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris. Speaking in Kano during an interactive session with media executives and practitioners, Mr Idris revealed that President Bola Tinubu has tasked all security agencies to expedite efforts to rescue the recently abducted school children in Kaduna and reunite them safely with their families.
In light of these incidents, the minister urged journalists to refrain from sensationalizing the activities of kidnappers and bandits in national newspapers. He emphasized the need to avoid giving these criminal elements undue publicity, as it only serves to embolden them.
President Bola Tinubu is deeply concerned about the glorification of criminal activities in the media, and he believes that such coverage only encourages the perpetrators. As a result, the government is taking proactive steps to address the issue and ensure that the country is self-sufficient in food production.
The federal government is currently implementing measures to revamp the agricultural sector and promote food security. President Bola Tinubu is adamant that Nigeria must achieve self-sufficiency in food production, and to that end, efforts are being made to provide farmers with subsidized access to a variety of fertilizers.
Overall, the government is committed to securing the country and ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens, especially vulnerable groups like school children. By cracking down on kidnappers and bandits, and by addressing the root causes of insecurity, the government aims to create a safer and more prosperous future for all Nigerians.
As the nation faces these challenges, it is crucial for the media to play a responsible role in reporting on security issues. Instead of sensationalizing crime, journalists can contribute to the national effort by promoting unity, resilience, and the values that bind the Nigerian society together.
In conclusion, the federal government’s actions to combat kidnapping and ensure food security demonstrate its dedication to the welfare of its citizens. With the support of the media and the public, these efforts can lead to a safer and more prosperous Nigeria for all.
