10 years after the #Chibok abductions, schools are still not as safe as they should be.

UNICEF is supporting the government to implement the minimum standards for safe schools in Nigeria.

The quicker schools are safe, the better #ForEveryChild

Reflecting on #Chibok , I urge action to protect our children - implement safe school standards, address infrastructure gaps and prioritize child protection in policies and budgets.
This will ensure children's right to education in a safe environment.
