American University in Nigeria Launches Program to Help School Children
- By Percy Dabang
The U.N. Children’s Fund says 10.5 million children are not attending school in Nigeria even though primary education is officially free and compulsory. To help out-of-school children in the country’s north where there have been attacks by extremists, the American University of Nigeria has launched a school called “Feed and Read.” Percy Dabang reports from Yola, Nigeria.
