The Federal Government has vowed to fish out and prosecute kidnappers of Kaduna school children.

The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, said this on Wednesday during an interactive session with media executives and practitioners organised by the Ministry of Information and National Orientation in Kano State.

He said President Bola Tinubu had directed all security agencies to expedite action toward ensuring that school children recently abducted in Kaduna were rescued unhurt and reunited with their families.

The minister advised journalists to desist from amplifying the activities of kidnappers and bandits on the pages of national dailies

“Mr President is disturbed that journalists celebrate the activities of kidnappers and bandits on the pages of national dailies.

“He believes that such publicity encourages the unpatriotic elements,” he said.

He said that the federal government is currently putting adequate modalities in place to overhaul the agricultural sector towards ensuring food security.
“Mr President is insisting that Nigeria must be self sufficient in food production.

“Proactive measures have been adopted by the federal government to ensure adequate provision of assorted fertilizer to farmers at subsidize rates,” he said.
