Mr El-Rufai also revealed that Kaduna spent about N800 million on feeding students in the 31 boarding schools in the state.
The development came two days after the bandits killed three out of the 20 students kidnapped from the school last week.
The parents and guardians of the students have taken their destinies in their hands.
“Again, this is no new counselling, but of course the dog that will get lost no longer heeds the hunter’s whistle.”
“We are in a war situation. As we are talking now, they (military) are dropping bombs on them (bandits).
“These recurring kidnappings and killings, in Kaduna state, in particular, are barbaric terror attacks,” Mr Buhari pointed out.
Commenters say these top opposition figures are sacrificing matters of national importance for political and religious expediency.
The governor has said he will not negotiate with bandits.
The police said the government had deployed security operatives in the general area for a search-and-rescue operation.
