The European Union will assist Borno State with €20 million, approximately N8 billion, to revamp its educational sector.
The EU, which is supporting the United Nations Children Fund and Plan International to execute the projects in the troubled state, said at the launch of new programme of support to education in Borno State on Friday in Maiduguri, that over 150,000 children and 2,500 teachers will directly benefit from two projects it is funding in the state.
It said the projects with which €20 million had already been earmarked for will expand and deepen the already extensive EU humanitarian and development assistance to the many victims of violence and displacement in Nigeria’s North East while addressing some of the underlying drivers of violent extremism in Nigeria.
The EU’s Head of Cooperation was quoted to have said: “Education is crucial for both the protection and healthy development of girls and boys affected by crises. For girls, education reduces maternal and child mortality, and an educated mother is more likely to have educated children.
