Nigerian Schools Struggle After US Aid Cut: Impact on Students and Teachers
Following the United States' withdrawal of aid to Nigeria, schools in the northeast region are struggling, impacting hundreds of students and teachers. The aid freeze has led to the closure of schools, displacing over 700 pupils and 20 teachers in Borno state alone.
