He said the Armed Forces of Nigeria would continue to do all within their strength to ensure the protection of children in collaboration with other security agencies.

In his address, Chief of Defence Training and Operations Nigerian Army Headquarters, Maj. Gen. Emeka Onumajuru, said the workshop was in line with federal government’s policy on safe, secure and violent-free schools initiative.

Onumajuru noted that the workshop became imperative in view of the incessant attacks on schools across Nigeria since 2014.
