No amount of intimidation and violence would stampede the government into abandoning its goal of giving education a new lease of life and opening up access to all young Nigerians who wish to improve themselves.
President Jonathan has therefore directed the Armed Forces, Police and other national security agencies to further enhance security around educational facilities in states prone to terrorist attacks.
Today, at about 2.45pm, a female suicide bomber blew herself up in the Kano State College of Islamic Legal Studies, while students were checking their results on the notice board.
Just yesterday, July 29, Boko Haram insurgents bombed a mosque in Yobe State located not far from the palace of the Emir of Potiskum.
On the same day, Boko Haram sect members killed eight persons while bombing a bridge in Yobe.
