The schoolgirls numbering 317 were abducted by bandits who stormed their school in the early hours of Friday in Hilux vehicles and motorcycles.
The attack comes days after over 300 students from Government Science College, Kagara in Niger State were abducted by bandits who have since released them.
Reacting to the abduction in Zamfara, Atiku in a statement titled 'States need to be empowered to control their internal security,' advised the National and State Assemblies to empower states towards controlling their internal security.
He said, "My heart is very heavy over the abduction of our young daughters from Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, Zamfara State.
"I have had a phone conversation with the Governor of Zamfara, H.E Bello Matawalle, and I am informed that his government is doing everything in its power to secure the release of the abducted students.
"I have previously made recommendations on how our beloved nation can defeat enemies of the state and win the war on terror, and I stand by those suggestions.
"However, right now, all hands must be on deck to support the Zamfara State government in securing the release of those abducted.
"The @NigeriaGov cannot expect the states to provide security of life and property in their domain, without giving them control over internal security.
