Breaking Barriers Through Literacy: NMEC And ESAME Bring Education To IDPs In Benin

Habiba Sam 



In a bid to promote education and empowerment, the National Commission for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education (NMEC) and the Edo State Agency for Mass Education (ESAME) have joined forces to take literacy to the doorstep of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at Ohogua, near Benin City.

During a 2-day sensitization and enrollment exercise, officials from both organizations emphasized the significance of learning, stressing that age is no barrier to acquiring knowledge. 
Comrade Ismail Arabambi Oniyangi, Assistant Director of Education at NMEC, highlighted the importance of literacy, stating, "We want to assure you that it's never too late to learn, and education can be a game-changer in your life."

Kadiri Onose Charity, Assistant Director of Education at ESAME, echoed this sentiment, adding, "Education can help you achieve your aspirations, regardless of your age or circumstances. We're here to support and encourage you on your educational journey."

The IDPs camp's founder, represented by Pastor Evelyn Omigie, expressed gratitude to NMEC and ESAME for bringing education to the camp, saying, "Teaching our displaced persons to read and write is a top priority. We'll continue to support their efforts."

The initiative included registration of learners and distribution of learning materials, marking a significant step towards empowering IDPs through education.
