No Hope of Schooling for Children Displaced by Terrorism in Northern Nigeria

By Emmanuel Audu

For the Saheed family, the day is monotonous; they arrive at a spot in Oja-Oba road in the morning, disperse to different locations to beg for money and come back to Oja-Oba road later in the evening.

Ibrahim and Audu have dreams; Ibrahim wants to be a lawyer while his brother, Audu hopes to be a journalist. In their hometown, Machi in Katsina State, before moving to Akure, they were enrolled in Dauedelu Primary School.

They told this reporter they had to leave school because their uniforms were worn-out, and their parents could not afford basic learning materials including exercise books.
