The Nigerian government has identified schools in at least 14 states and the capital, Abuja, as vulnerable to attacks following a renewed wave of mass abductions of students. Da'Vine Joy Randolph burst into tears on Sunday as Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o paid tribute to her Oscar-winning performance in The Holdovers.
Hajia Halima Iliya, the national coordinator of state-run Financing Safe Schools in Nigeria, said the agency had collected data to guide intervention measures. "Da'Vine, my friend, your performance is tribute to those who have helped others heal in spite of their own pain," Nyong'o said at the Academy Awards in Hollywood.
The agency was formed after the 2014 abduction of hundreds of girls from Chibok in the north-eastern Borno state. "It's also a tribute to your grandmother, whose glasses you wear in the film. What an honour to see the world through her eyes and yours."
Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Benue, Yobe, Katsina, Abuja, Kebbi, Sokoto, Plateau and Zamfara are among the most vulnerable states, according to the agency. A relative newcomer and fan favourite, Da'Vine Joy Randolph was named Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars - adding to her clutch of awards this season including a Golden Globe and Critics' Choice award.
This comes amidst a surge in kidnappings in Nigeria.
The country's spate of abductions worsened on Saturday as more than a dozen students and four women were kidnapped from a school in Gada, Sokoto.
Parents of the kidnapped students have urged the government to help secure their release.
