Egbetokun’s visit is a show of solidarity with Governor Idris and the community of Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, located under the Zuru emirate. The district has remained on edge since the schoolgirls were taken.
His arrival follows a separate visit by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, who led a delegation to Kebbi on Monday. The group donated twenty million naira to the parents of the victims and urged the Federal Government to honour the late vice principal by renaming the school.
