The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has distributed 276,700 textbooks and exercise books to orphanage schools and centers in Borno and Yobe states.
The NEDC reported that the 3,910 pupils from the nine schools and centers were orphaned during the 13-year Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast.
The commission’s Borno State Coordinator, Mohammed Umaru, said the NEDC also supported three other foundations with 950 blankets and mats, 700 wrappers, and Shadda clothes.
