Key Points Summary
- The Neo-Black Movement of Africa Worldwide has called on the Federal Government to take stronger action against insecurity, corruption, and weaknesses in the security system.
- The group launched the “Bring Back Our Children and Teachers” campaign to raise awareness about the impact of insecurity, abductions, and violence on children and educators.
- Coordinator Akpo Diejomaoh said the initiative is a humanitarian effort focused on protecting vulnerable people, not a political campaign.
- The campaign seeks to promote dialogue, partnerships, and practical solutions to safeguard children and ensure access to education.
- Nigerians at home and abroad were urged to unite in supporting efforts that protect children, teachers, and the nation’s future.
Speaking at a press briefing in Asaba, Delta State, the Coordinator of the Body of Founders Worldwide, Akpo Diejomaoh, urged Nigerians to collectively address the root causes of insecurity rather than focusing solely on its symptoms.
Addressing journalists on the theme: “Bring Back Our Children and Teachers, Protect Nigeria’s Future, Preserve Humanity,” Diejomaoh described the campaign as a humanitarian initiative aimed at drawing attention to the plight of children and teachers affected by insecurity, abductions, violence, trafficking, and other forms of abuse.
He noted that children remain the nation’s greatest asset and future leaders, yet many continue to suffer displacement, denial of education, exploitation, and violence.
According to him, the campaign is neither political nor intended to apportion blame but serves as a call for unity, compassion, and collective action to safeguard vulnerable members of society.
“Every child deserves protection, dignity and hope. The ‘Bring Back Our Children and Teachers’ campaign is not a political project or a platform for blame. It is a humanitarian call for unity, compassion and collective action,” he said.

Diejomaoh expressed optimism that the campaign would stimulate constructive dialogue, practical solutions, and stronger partnerships aimed at protecting children and preserving the nation’s future.
He urged stakeholders to move beyond rhetoric and take concrete actions, noting that humanity is measured not by words but by efforts made to protect those who cannot defend themselves.
Reaffirming the organization’s commitment to justice, humanitarian service, and the protection of vulnerable persons, he called on Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora to support initiatives that promote the safety and welfare of children and teachers.
“Let us stand together, speak with one voice, act with one purpose, protect our children and preserve our future,” he said.
