school, and not until President Muhammadu Buhari came on

working day and night to make sure that life returns to normal
both in your community and all others affected by terrorism.

“I want to appeal to Chibok leaders and the community to
continue give their maximum support to the present
administration under the leadership of Governor Babagana

Secondary School in Chibok which was destroyed by
terrorists. Today, I am glad that we are all witnessing the

get the education they need to live a decent life. We will
support them and we will do everything we can to support
their parents and the entire community.

pain of the parents. What happened was tragic. But I want
you to know that this administration cares. We will not
abandon our children. We are with you.

eventuality and additional teachers to meet the demands of
the students.

School at your own detriment!
I got no pity to give again.



Make Buhari grand children first start to dey go school since its now remodelled and safe.

What are they remodeling? When they haven't fixed the terrorism issues, they are remodeling. Are they preparing to give the terrorists new wives?

Like they care!


Is it dead or kidnapped children that will attend the school?

Look how many alone died today and how many were kidnapped in Niger.

Unless Insecurity is tackled first and Boko Haram lose the status of our sons , any other thing is putting the cart before the horse.

It's only foolish parents that will take their children to that place again

I hope federal government will beef up security within and around the school to save it from the ugly incident of the past

nice one
