President Bola Tinubu has described the recent spate of kidnappings and bandits’ attacks as disturbing, ungodly, and sinister.

The Nigerian leader, while receiving a delegation from Jam’iyyatu Ansaridden, a highly respected Islamic movement, at the State House in Abuja on Tuesday, said education is the great equalizer against poverty.

Tinubu said while security agencies are acting with dispatch to immediately address the current challenge, all required resources, policies, and plans will be rolled out soon for the massive education of Nigerian youths.

He said: “I can assure you that we are here to change the lives of our people. We are here to promote peace, stability, and economic prosperity.

“We are dedicated to building lasting peace with a focus on the comprehensive education of our children. We will get our teachers and their owners involved in an education process that will be relevant to the future of this country.

“It is important. Knowledge brought me here with your prayers and your support. Without knowledge, there is nothing to generate hope for mankind.”

The President also emphasized that it was important to promote updated knowledge through existing Islamic learning institutions for youths in Northern Nigeria to speed up development in the region, in Nigeria, and throughout Africa.

“Please embark on special prayers. Embark on proper education for our youth. Kidnapping and banditry are not the way of God.

“Shedding each other’s blood is bad. And there can be no development without peace. It is only in the area of peace that we can eliminate poverty. We must work for peace in order for our economy to grow better,” the president said.
