The National Association of Nigerian Students on Sunday met with Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, to seek the release of the students abducted across the country.

The President of the association, Sunday Asefon, disclosed this in a statement released on Monday titled, ‘Safe And Secure School; NANS Meets Sheik Gumi’.

Asefon said, “I led the leadership of NANS to meet with Sheik Ahmed Gumi in Kaduna yesterday (Sunday). Our discussion centred on actions and efforts to ensure the safety and security of Nigerian students on all campuses and the release of innocent students in the captivity of their abductors.”

“We extracted commitment on continuous dialogue for the release of students in captivity and all-around efforts to ensure schools become safer so that our students can be free from the fear and trauma of kidnapping.”

“We must leave no stone unturned until our schools are free again. We will continue to engage and dialogue with stakeholders to ensure school safety.”

Recall that Gumi last week charged the Federal Government to grant amnesty to bandits attacking communities in the north.
