He stressed that ensuring security was a responsibility of all.
He said: “this incident happened in Kankara, but the whole state is affected; every local government has students in the school, some are even from other states.
“We are all involved; the entire state and the country are like one body. If one part of the body is sick, the whole body is sick.
“For students, this should be part of your history and part of journey to adulthood.
“I’m sure this should permanently be in your mind; some of the things that took place, you will only understand them later in life.
“As leaders, we will continue to discharge our responsibility as government in the state.
“You suffered physically, mentally and psychologically, but let me assure you that we have suffered more”.
“Your parents have suffered; whatever you do, you should thank Allah and your parents and pray that this incident not only to yourselves, will never happen to anybody again,’’
