We shall use the memorial to bring to fore the issues pertaining to whether the school is open and the children are back in school; whether the families were reached out to, consoled and compensated; how the families are coping; and other issues of endangered education in Nigeria.
In Lagos, the memorial shall hold during the usual #SpeakOutSaturday between 11 am and 1 pm at the 2 venues: Falomo roundabout and the location close to the NNPC Mega Station, Ejigbo. In Abuja, events shall hold at Unity Fountain; commence as from 5 pm and end with a candlelight procession before 7 pm.
Thank you.
