The Borno State Government has vows to construct a boarding school
for 2,000 children whose parents were killed by Boko Haram insurgents.
According to the state government, the school, with boarding facilities is
almost completed.
Commissioner for Education in the state, Musa Inuwa, who said this
in a telephone interview with a Punch correspondent on Wednesday, added that
the state needs about 3,000 teachers to replace those who were killed or maimed
by the insurgents.
He said, “Many communities have been liberated and people are
going back to their communities. But, children without parents cannot go back
with them because there is nobody they will live with. The intention is to
house children without parents by constructing a boarding primary and secondary
school. At least, we are going to enroll 1,000 males and 1,000 females. The
school is 80 per cent completed and it will take off any moment from now.”
