Jonathan commiserates with residents, victims of Kano attack

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on Wednesday commiserated with residents of Kano State who were affected by the attack by suspected terrorists on the Federal College of Education, Kano.
The President, in a statement by his spokesman, Reuben Abati, commiserated with those who lost their loved ones in the attack and wished those who sustained injuries “a speedy recovery.”
Earlier on Wednesday, the terrorists were said to have invaded the institution killing and injuring many.
The president commended the officers and men of the Nigerian Police Force “who took prompt action to confront the attackers and minimise resultant casualties.”
He assured that the government would continue to do all within its power to ensure that the war against terrorism was successful.
The statement reads in part, “He urges them to be even more alert and proactive in the future to stop terrorist attacks in Kano and other parts of the country.
“President Jonathan reassures the people of Kano and all Nigerians that the Federal Government will continue to do all within its powers to further enhance the ability of the Police, Armed Forces and other security agencies to prosecute the war against terrorism to a successful conclusion and provide greater security of lives and property across the country.
