The Federal Government has set aside ₦1.85 billion to support the education, rehabilitation, and reintegration of the Chibok schoolgirls who were abducted by Boko Haram in 2014.
The intervention, which will run until 2027, covers a wide range of support including tuition, accommodation, vocational training, medical care, psychosocial support, feeding, starter packs, NHIS enrolment, parental assistance, logistics, and other essentials.
According to officials, at least 108 rescued girls are beneficiaries of the programme, with 68 of them currently studying at the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola.
This initiative is part of the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at ensuring that the Chibok girls not only continue their education but also receive the necessary care to live meaningful lives after their traumatic experience.
