A group of private schoolchildren has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to tackle the worsening insecurity in Nigeria, expressing concern over the safety of citizens across the country.

The appeal was contained in a video that has gained attention on social media, where the children addressed the President directly and called for urgent action.

Children Seek Government Intervention

In the video, the pupils said Nigerians are looking up to the President to address the growing security challenges affecting communities nationwide.

They urged the government to show compassion and take meaningful steps to improve the safety of lives and property.

According to the children, many citizens are worried about the current security situation and hope for a safer environment.

Call for a Safer Nigeria

The pupils also spoke about their desire to grow up in a country where people can live without fear.

They appealed to the authorities to prioritise security and ensure that children, families and communities are protected from violence and criminal activities.

The video has continued to circulate online as conversations around insecurity remain a major national concern.

Growing Concerns Over Security

The appeal comes amid increasing public concern over recent cases of kidnappings, attacks on schools and violent crimes reported in different parts of the country.

Security has remained a key issue in national discussions, with citizens and stakeholders repeatedly calling for stronger measures to protect lives and restore public confidence.

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from the Presidency regarding the children’s appeal.
