The abduction of the over 200 students from the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state by the Boko haram sect on April 14 has been a matter of serious concern both locally and internationally.
The Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, has said N150 million have been set aside to take care of the 53 Chibok schoolgirls, who escaped from the den of the Boko Haram terrorists.
The
governor made this development known while addressing the presidential
fact-finding committee in Chibok said: “The Borno State government has
set aside the sum of N150 million to fund a rehabilitation programme of
the 53 girls and to support parents in Chibok, whose sources of
livelihood have been truncated by the trauma, leaving them with little
or nothing to feed on, while we continue to work immeasurably towards
the release of the girls being held.”
Governor
Shettima who is very optimistic that the others will be freed also said
that his government is already in touch with key international
organisations and a plan of action has already been proposed by the
Ministry of Health in the State on issues relating to the health and
well-being of the 53 girls who escaped.
