A Christian group in Niger State has asked the Federal Government to consider changing all boarding schools in the northeast especially the female schools to day schools.
In the same vein, the group called for community policing as a way of tackling insurgency in the country.
This was made known during a visit by the group to the families of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls in Yobe State.
There have been several calls from various groups including the President Muhammadu Buhari, the United Nations and other international communities.
For the Christian group, the call for the change of boarding to day school will help to reduce the occurrence of an abduction of students in the region.
The Dapchi schoolgirls were abducted on February 19, 2018, by the Boko Haram insurgents.
To increase intense effort for their release, the Federal Government has extended the search for the schoolgirls to other neighbouring countries.
Top military and security officials travelled to the North-east to add more urgency to the search, which has now been extended beyond the North-east region.
The list of officials are, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas; Chief of Army Staff; Lieutenant – General Tukur Buratai and the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Alhaji Lawal Daura.
They joined the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who had earlier relocated to the North-east, as well as the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno, who has also visited the theatre.
