The Nigerian Army on Wednesday pledged to construct five additional classrooms in Borno Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp to improve access to quality education among such persons.
Victor Ezugwu, the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 7 Division of the Army, made the pledge when he visited one of the mobile classrooms at the Bakassi IDPs camp in Maiduguri.
Ezugwu said the gesture was part of efforts to support government toward rehabilitating and reintegrating victims of the Boko Haram insurgency.
He added that the army would also improve water supply in the camp to enhance healthy and hygienic environment.
“We will also provide more learning materials for pupils,” Ezegwu said.During the visit, the GOC donated N200,000 to volunteers and teachers providing free teaching services to pupils at the camp.
