In the wake of the attack on school children in Yobe State during the week, the Unity Schools Old Students Association has called for the immediate closure of all the eight federal unity colleges in the three states under emergency rule.

The association also wants the students in various colleges transferred to other unity colleges in other parts of the country for them to continue with their studies.

This call was made at an emergency town hall meeting in Lagos, where the President of King’s College Old Boys’ Association, KCOB Mr. Hakeem Bello-Osagie, and Chairman National Human Rights Commission Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, urged the Federal Government to immediately deploy sufficient security personnel to secure all schools and children in the North-East.
