SAN FRANCISCO, November 10, (THEWILL) – President Goodluck Jonathan Monday extended his heartfelt commiserations to the Government and people of Yobe State on the death of many students in a bomb attack on Potiskum earlier on Monday.
President Jonathan also conveyed his deepest sympathies to all parents who lost their beloved children in the heinous attack on the Government Science Secondary School which appears to have been carried out by a suicide bomber.
The President, in a statement signed his spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, condemned the dastardly murder of the students on their school’s assembly ground as they prepared to begin another week of study in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their families.
He assured the grieving parents and people of Yobe State that no matter how long it takes, the Federal Government will ensure that all those responsible for the senseless murder of so many promising youngsters and the continuing acts of terrorism across the country are brought to justice and made to pay for their atrocious crimes.
The President similarly assured all Nigerians that in spite of seeming setbacks, his Administration remains fully committed to winning the war against insurgency and terrorism.
Nigeria, President Jonathan affirmed, will ultimately overcome the current security challenges imposed by domestic terrorists and their foreign allies, with the dedication of its Armed Forces and national security agencies, as well as the continued support and cooperation of all patriotic citizens.
