YOLA — 57 of the Chibok girls who were abducted from the school hostel in 2014 and rescued in 2016 have commenced various academic programmes at the American University of Nigeria, (AUN), Yola, Adamawa State.

The girls joined other matriculating students to start their first year in the school under the foundation programme in the university on the Federal Government of Nigeria’s scholarship programme, which was promised to them when they were first rescued.

Mr. Can Okereke, Director of Communication in the University on Wednesday, said, the school tasked the girls and other students to brace up for the American-style of education, saying that they were meant to find solutions to many challenges of the global society

The statement read in part: “Whether it is climate change, challenges to our very health, threats of violence, injustice, desertification, inequality, poverty, pollution, tyranny, all our problems are man-made and so are the solutions.”

“The American University of Nigeria has just held this year’s annual Convocation and Pledge Ceremony, which included fifty-seven of the rescued “Chibok Girls,” now young women and first-year university students”.
