Over 1000 pupils and students have returned back to school after being displaced by the Boko Haram insurgents in Yunusari local government council of Yobe state.

“It is our believe that education remain the gate way to success and considering the insurgency issue the community being faced with in the North-east region particularly Kanamma, being an epicenter of insurgency.”
The programme manager also therefore called on the management to ensure that children and all other major youth are being enroll, admitted and get better education and also ensure the materials given to them are used for the purpose intended.
