He also said that it was the plan of the Federal Government to remove all the impediments in the land.
He said government was doing a comprehensive de-mining of the affected areas to enable the displaced persons to return to their communities to resume their businesses and economic activities, including farming.
Osinbajo spoke when he visited the Internally Displaced Persons School in Mariri, Kano, where he told the Children displaced by insurgency not to lose hope as the Federal Government was committed to providing for their future.
Some 100 children from Borno are receiving education and psychological therapy, courtesy of the Kano State Government in the school.
According to Osinbajo, President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is committed to the Presidential Initiative for the North East (PINE) Project to take care of all those affected by insurgency in the country.
He recalled the interaction the President had with the PINE Committee headed by Gen. Theophilus Danjuma in Abuja, adding that beside educating the children, government was interested in rebuilding places destroyed by terrorists.
He said PINE was a huge plan that had immediate, medium and long term plans.
He added that “part of that is the education of children who are displaced. Part of that also is resettlement, the rebuilding of homes and bridges and de-mining of farms.’’
He explained that the IDP school established by the Kano State Government was a creative and humanitarian project, given the circumstances of the children.
He noted that the Kano State Government had demonstrated to others how to show concern for the future of the children.
He said “despite everything that has happened to them, it is obvious that the children’s future is bright.’’
The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Prof. Hafiz Abubakar, said the school was opened on April 20, 2015 as part of support to the children ravaged by insurgency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.
He said it started as an orphanage but had grown to a centre that offered education and care to the pupils.
Abubakar said that the centre had primary one and primary two pupils running full curriculum in education with full boarding facilities.
