“Nigeria is going through some of the most difficult times in its independent history- the insurgency in the north east, violence in the middle belt, corruption and oil theft in the Niger delta” adding that the inability of the government to find the missing over 200 Chibok girls two months after their abduction by Boko Haram terrorists was worrisome.

The ambassador commended TAICO for its commitment to quality education.
