North Eastern Nigeria has faced 2 years of brutal fighting between the Boko Haram sect and the Nigerian Army. Borno has the highest number of IDPs – over a million, and while everyday activities were almost at zero the past few years, life is finally coming back to the state, thanks to the Nigerian Army.

Public schools were closed during the 2 year conflict, and after the horrific capture of over 200 girls from a school in Chibok town.

This Twitter user shared pictures of students attending classes in Gubio LGA.

The Borno Stare Government announced recently that all public schools have been renovated and will now be open for students to continue their education.

We are really just thrilled that these kids can finally go back to living a normal life, in a safe environment.
