Education in northern Nigeria is under attack. Boko Haram has killed hundreds of students and teachers and forced dozens of schools to close in the country’s northeast. And in the northwest where bandits kill and kidnap for ransom, nearly 1000 students were abducted in the last year. While the incidents have ended the search for education for many students, some of the victims are taking risks to chase their dreams.  over 300 students were kidnapped from a secondary school in northwest Nigeria.
