Secretary General of the union Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal said in Lagos that the work-free day was necessary to enable the management and staff of the schools mourn the students who were cut down in their prime by the Boko Haram insurgents.
He also emphasized that the day of mourning is a show of solidarity with the management, staff and parents of the deceased students.
“We believe that this gesture is the least honour that can be accorded defenceless students who were murdered in their prime by the religious bigots. It will also send a signal to the Boko Haram militants that the entire society is united against its dastardly act,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has urged the federal government to ensure that it brought to book those responsible for the killings.
National Public Relations Officer of PENGASSAN Comrade Seyi Mohammed Gambo in a statement weekend said it was necessary that the federal government track down the perpetrators and rescue female students kidnapped by the insurgents.
