The Borno State government has said that it will relocate some of the schoolgirls that escaped from Boko Haram’s den to another schools in Zaria, Abuja or Lagos to complete their education.
The government also plans to invite American counseling experts to Maiduguri for the 57 escaped schoolgirls.
However, all the escaped girls who were at the Government House, Maiduguri, declined to speak to journalists as they kept sealed lips throughout.
The plan to relocate the girls was disclosed Monday in Maiduguri at the Government House, during Governor Kashim Shettima closed door meeting with parents of the girls, the Chairman of Chibok Local Government Area, Bana Lawan and the escaped schoolgirls.
The governor said, “The abduction of schoolgirls by the Boko Haram gunmen does not only affect parents here present in this council chamber, but all of us, including my humble self and other stakeholders in Borno state.
“I have daughters too and as a leader, people’s lives and property must be protected, including the rehabilitation of traumatized girls and their parents.
“These girls have no other place to go. We also have no plans to politicize the abduction of over 200 innocent schoolgirls from their school on April 14 by suspected Boko Haram gunmen.
“If any person doubts the abduction of the schoolgirls, let him or her go to the affected town and meet the parents.”
“We are taking these girls here in this council chamber to a school in either Zaria, or Abuja or Lagos, but we will not disclose the name of the Secondary Schools in which they will complete their secondary education that had been interrupted by their abduction.”
He further disclosed that each escaped abducted schoolgirl, was to complete their secondary education at the cost of N1.5 million.
