The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has observed that the abduction of female University students in Zamfara State has negative implications on access to education for the girl-child.

The ACF condemned the abduction of the female students and urged the Federal Government to rejig Nigeria’s security architecture and come up with new multi-pronged containment strategies against security and related existential threats bedeviling schools and communities.

According to the ACF, “it is with utter consternation that the Arewa Consultative Forum received news about the abduction of mostly female students of the Federal University Gusau , from their private hostels, at Sabon Gida Village, Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.” “ACF condemns the abductions in the strongest of terms. It is very disconcerting that such a most unfortunate criminal incident is not the first of its kind in memory but it certainly is one abduction far too many to occur in any community in Nigeria, nor elsewhere in the world.”

“A pointer to the unfolding tragedy is in an apparent voice note on social media where a girl was heard stating that her father had called her home, ordering that her pursuit of a university degree be abandoned; another was heard advising intending candidates for admission not to select this particular institution as place of choice. This is an absolutely and highly regrettable development to be condemned in all its ramifications.
