On Thursday, August 24, the Nigerian Shippers’ Council handed over three secondary schools which it has renovated to the Borno state government as part of its corporate social responsibility programme. The three schools were among those destroyed by insurgents in Borno. The council said it took up the responsibility to fix three public schools within Maiduguri metropolis when its Executive Secretary/CEO, Hassan Bello, visited the Borno state Governor Kashim Shettima in November 2016. Following the request of the council’s chief executive, Borno state government recommended Government Day Secondary School, Maimalari Barracks, Government Day Secondary School, Maiduguri and Government Day Secondary School Zajiri for renovation.

According to the council’s Director of Corporate Services, Balarabe Sumaila, who handed over the renovated schools to the state ministry of education, the council had restricted itself to the three schools nominated by the Borno state government and would renovated more schools had they been nominated. Borno state Commissioner of Education, Musa Inuwa Kubo, who represented the state at the event expressed happiness over the council’s gesture.
