Peter Hawkins, the United Nations Children’s fund Representative in Nigeria, has again decried the unabated security challenges bedeviling Nigeria, the situation which he noticed has continued to halt school children from returning to the four walls of the classrooms.
He said “It is unacceptable that communities should be worried to send their children to school over fears they will be abducted from what should be a safe space.”“This insecurity situation must end so that children can return to their normal lives and benefit from all the important things being in school brings to them. It is unacceptable that children need to fear returning to their friends and classrooms.
Learners, as stated by him “Are being cut off from their education and other vital benefits schools provide, as families and communities remain fearful of sending children back to their classrooms due to the spate of school attacks and student abductions in Nigeria over the last several months and the current climate of insecurity.”
“So far this year, there have been 20 attacks on schools in Nigeria, with 1,436 children abducted and 16 children dead. More than 200 children are still missing.”
