Mr Malick Fall, United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, says there is a need for collective commitment to promoting safe, inclusive, and violence-free teaching and learning environments.
Fall made this call following a meeting with the National Safe Schools Response Coordination Centre delegation, led by the Commandant, Dr Samuel Umanah, in Abuja.
He said the protection and upholding of children’s right to education in safety and dignity should be prioritised.
The meeting centred on the situation surrounding school abductions and expressions of solidarity with the affected families, school authorities and communities at distressing times in Oyo and Borno States.
