The freed Kankara boys had a meeting with President Buhari on Friday, 18th December, 2020 at the Banquet Hall of Katsina Government House.
Buhari appealed to the 344 GSSS students to remain focused on pursuing their interests. He also recounted how he became the President of Nigeria..

He said;

“If I wasn’t educated, I will not be standing here today in front of you. I schooled in Katsina for nine years. I moved on to join the army, served as a governor, Head of State, went to prison, came out, and later joined politics.

“I contested presidential elections three times, and finally I was declared a winner in 2015.

“My dear children, don’t be discouraged with what has happened; give your attention to acquiring knowledge and developing good character, and you will be distinguished in life. I know that you have been through a lot.

“The suffering you went through, please put it aside and try to forget the painful experience. There is no substitute for a good education, so you must return to school and continue.”

Buhari assured the students that the FG would strengthen the security structure and make sure they are safe in the country.
