Even in the face of war, The Nigerian Army has won the heart of many people with the establishment of a school for children at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp which is located in Bama town in Borno State. These soldiers (especially the ones in the war regions) have continued to impress Nigerians with their braveness and tactical thoughts. Though we can't say same to those that remain in the peace areas of the country and yet causing choas by beating up civilians on will.

The temporary school which was constructed using military tents was built by troops of 21 Brigade, 7 Division Nigerian Army.

In addition, some of the IDPs who were teachers before their displacement also teach in the school.”

The school has over 3,000 children while there is also a section for adult education for women. The project caught the eye of the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) which also assisted the Brigade with 2 additional tents and school bags for the pupils “while Borno State Urban Education deployed a Principal to assist in running of the school.”

Mr Toby Lanzer who is the UN assistant secretary-general and the regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel commended the Nigerian army for the project. He gave this commendation during the recently held World Humanitarian Day which he celebrated with the IDPs in the school.
