Nigeria: Where Is Home?

  April 14, 2014

Islamic Insurgents (Boko Haram) have terrorised thousands of Nigerians in the North. Terrorism in the Northern Nigeria has led to displacement of hundreds of thousands of Nigerians, most of whom are now refugees in other parts of Nigeria.

A 2- session (morning and afternoon) workshop is being proposed scheduled for 2 hours per session on Fridays and Saturdays for 8 weeks.

I intend to create computer literacy/usage among the indigenes especially the youths; then liaise with the network providers to improve their service delivery to the region where the community falls.
