The United States has pledged its commitment to supporting Nigeria’s efforts to protect educational institutions against bandit attacks.
According to the United States (U.S.), the school environment must be conducive, saying that those raiding the institutions must be held responsible for their actions.
The U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said America will support Nigeria in protecting children in school.
Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield said: “We have to hold people accountable and really have them punished for those kinds of acts. Schools should be places where children can go to school and learn and be happy and thrive.
“And so as part of our work with Nigerian security services, it’s also to help them be more effective and efficient in providing that kind of support and security for all Nigerians, but particularly for young children and young girls who are trying to get educated.”
