“We have said this directly to Mr. President and to others that the United States will stand with Nigeria in the fight against terror and we stand ready to help in every possible way. The terrorists try to keep children out of school. This is unacceptable and we won’t stand by and let that happen. We can’t give up.

Nigerian children who have been affected by the insurgency do not also need to see their hopes for education sacrificed.
