PRESIDENT BUHARI WELCOMES RELEASE OF FORESTRY SCHOOL STUDENTS<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
President Muhammadu Buhari welcomes the release of the 27 students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka, near Kaduna and congratulates their friends, families and the government and people of Kaduna State following the happy end to the saga.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are happy they have been released,\u201d says the President. \u201cWe express our deep appreciation to all the actors who contributed one way or the other to this happy outcome, in particular the defence and security agencies, the officials of the Ministry of Environment and the government of Kaduna State. We thank Nigerians for their prayers.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
President Buhari calls for steadfastness and security awareness on the part of citizens and the law enforcement agencies and deplores the increasing politicization of security in the country by opportunistic politicians.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The President appeals for the release of the students of the Greenfield University and all other citizens held in captivity, expressing the strong determination of his administration to ensure that Nigerians lived in a country where everyone can move where they want, when they want without the fear of kidnapping and banditry.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However,\u00a0Daily Trust in one of its reports stated that one of the persons who received the students disclosed the role played by the Sheikh Abubakar Gumi dialogue committee with support from former President Olusegun Obasanjo in facilitating the release of the abducted students.<\/div>\n
