President of the union Comrade Igwe Achese made the call in Lagos in reaction to the recent abduction of 234 school girls of Government Secondary School, Chibok and another attack on Government Girls Secondary School, Yana in Borno State.
He also advocated the need for the Federal government to improve and upgrade its strategy of combating terrorism by applying modern technology to deal with the situation.
 He described the twin-events as unacceptable and embarrassing considering the inability of security agencies to locate the whereabouts of the missing school children after more than a week of their abduction.
According to him, the report that 234 school girls are missing and not 129, calls for concern and goes to show the inefficiency and failure of the security forces to arrest the Boko Haram scourge.
“The Union states that the sponsors of the terrorists must be identified and made to face the wrath of the law, no matter their position in the society. The Union also wants effective policing of our vast porous borders which serve as a conduit for the hit and run activities.  We also call on the Federal Government to dialogue with our neighbours to see how they can help prevent the marauders from escaping into their countries,” he said.
