A non-governmental organisation, Matinaah Care Foundation has awarded digital literacy and education scholarship to 20 students who lost their parents to the conflict in Borno State.

The Coordinator of MCF in the state, Dr. Orji Uchenna disclosed this during a conference organised for orphans on Tuesday in Maiduguri.

According to him, the gesture is a form of moral and educational support for children who have lost their both parents or are abandoned as a result of the over a decade of insurgency.
