Accordingly to him, local, states and federal governments should take urgent steps to secured the future education of the girls in the north from totally collapse by boosting more security institutions in and around schools instead of closing down.

“How can a police officer go and spend 24 hours on special duties, and at the end of the month, given N2,000-N5,000 as and allowance, it’s discouraging and moral killing. It’s happening in Nigeria, he said.
He also said that “Governors should not stop women from going to school at all.  Let them secure women and the education.
