The Deputy Force Commander expressed gratitude to the partners for their roles in actualizing the project.
He emphasized the importance of education, appealing to the local population to ensure every child, regardless of gender, attends school.
The Commander also called for the community’s cooperation with security forces to stamp out the Boko Haram extremist ideology that has long troubled the region.
The donation, seen as a move to combat the underlying causes of insurgency such as illiteracy and lack of access to basic amenities, is expected to trigger substantial improvements in the community’s social and economic condition.
This initiative reflects the spirit of alliance between the MNJTF, COGINTA, and local communities in their joint stride towards stability and progress in the region.
