Dr Sulaiman, stated that, the programme would restore confidence and access to health and education to residents by helping to restore the psychological well-being of children and adolescents who have been exposed to traumatic and distressing conditions

The EU Head of delegation in Nigeria, Michel Arrion, in his remark, explained that the programme would provide psychological first aid to 45,000 children affected by insurgency in Borno State, adding that those that require sustained support to recover from trauma would be referred to specialist services.

Accordingly, Arrion stated that the programme which would last for a year, would also be implemented in conjunction with the Borno State Government, Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and other non-governmental organizations.

The focus was to strengthen the institutional framework for planning and provision of psychosocial support to 11 local government areas in Borno State, he added.
