Worried by the plight of persons displaced by insurgency, a nine-year-old student of Unique Blossom Schools, Maitama, Miss Splendour Joe King, has written a book on the effect of terrorism on Children.
 
A letter made available to journalist in Abuja on Tuesday said the book, which has already been presented to the public, is titled `Effects of terrorism on Children’.
 
The author said in the letter that she was inspired by happenings around her and the need for children to be enlightened on the impact of the crisis on the society.
 
``My vision is to see that our world is rid of terror through child education on terrorism.
 
``My mission therefore is to launch the book that will educate children on the dangers and effect of terrorism in Nigeria.
 
``My mission is to also reach out to children globally with this vision and to collaborate with relevant agencies and government of nations on how to turn children away from activities of terrorists,’’ she said.
 
King’s letter urges individuals, non-governmental organisations and multinational companies to support her dream of enlightening children on the need to be upright and disciplined at all times.
 
The letter also drew the attention of Nigerians to the fact that the fight against insurgency is one that required the cooperation of all including children.
