Displaced people

In 2014, people fleeing violence in Gwoza built a new town in Fufore, at the existing hamlet of Daware (or Damare), off the Yola-Mubi highway. "The condition given for their stay in Daware was that no temporary tents will be erected as the new residents have been allotted both farm and building plots to begin normal life."[2] A school was set up at Damare Camp for the children, with teachers volunteering from the Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola, and American University of Nigeria, Yola.[3]

gollark: Anyway, on the one hand, universities are apparently quite good jobs-wise and I can probably get into a fairly good one, but on the other hand ~£50000 could pay for 200 years of osmarks.tk server time.
gollark: I guess Turkey has lower cost of living?
gollark: ++delete Nvidia again because Nvidia maximally bad.
