The National President of the Parents Teachers Association of Nigeria (PTAN), Alh Haruna Danjuma, has urged the federal and state governments to draft security agencies to strategic locations as schools across the nation prepare to resume on Monday.

The PTAN President in a statement said the call became necessary in view of the fact that kidnapping, banditry and terrorism still persist and schools are still soft targets of attacks in the country.

Danjuma explained that it behoves on the FG and the state governments to be proactive in averting the menace of kidnapping in schools in the nation.

Danjuma noted that Covid-19 pandemic is still a big threat to the existence of human beings, while stressing the need for both states and federal to provide face masks, hand sanitisers, and educate the students on it.
