To further assist the internally displaced persons and enhance civil-military relations, troops of  21 Brigade, 7 Division Nigerian Army, have    established a temporary school for the children at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp located in Bama town, Bama Local Government Area of Borno State using military tents.

The school comprised 6 military tents in which soldiers  not on essential duty served as teachers. In addition, some of the  IDPs who were  teachers before the their displacement, also teach in the school.
Presently,  the school has a population of over 3,000 children. The Brigade has also establish a  section of adult education  for women.

Impressed with the laudable initiative, the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) also assisted the Brigade with 2 additional tents and school bags for the pupils, while Borno State Urban Education  deployed a   Principal to assist in running of  the school.
The United Nations Assistant Secretary-General and the Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Sahel, Mr Toby Lanzer, and Borno State Government celebrated  the recently held World Humanitarian Day with the IDPs in the school and commended the efforts of the  Nigerian Army for establishing the school.

Similarly, an American Non-Government Organization (NGO), Empower54, equally impressed with   the fact that “despite the heavy responsibility of fighting off the terrorists daily, the soldiers are making time to teach the children”,  appreciates the soldiers of 21 Brigade for their selfless effort by establishing the school in a blog and hashtag.

You are please requested to kindly disseminate this information to the public through your medium.
Thank you for your kind and usual cooperation.
