    City Blog Borno State Government To Relocate Chibok Girls To Other States To Complete Their Education

    The Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim
    Shettima, has promised to relocate the abducted
    Chibok schoolgirls to other parts of the country
    to complete their secondary school education
    after their release. He said this when the
    Chairman, Chibok Local Government, Mr. Baana
    Lawan, led the parents of the abducted
    schoolgirls to his office on Monday.


    The governor said the state government would
    sponsor all the girls to schools in Abuja, Kano,
    Lagos, Kaduna or any other states of the country
    to complete their secondary school education. It
    will be recalled that the girls were sitting for their
    final year examinations when they were
    kidnapped in their hostel on April 14. Shettima
    said, "It is mandatory for the state government
    to ensure the speedy return or release of the girls
    and it is the sole responsibility of government to
    see that these our children are back home
    without politicising the matter.
    "This is not politics, there is no need to play
    politics with the abduction of these children.

    We have children and we know what it is for these
    girls to be missing." Meanwhile, the Secretary to
    the Borno State Government, Ambassador Baba
    Jidda, who represented Shettima at a media
    briefing in Lagos said that the state government
    had spent N10bn on the Boko Haram war since
    2011. He revealed this in a transcript of a
    meeting held with some journalists in Lagos.
    Shettima said the state was forced to disclose
    the figures because of a growing campaign of
    calumny against the state government. He
    explained that it was sad that certain individuals
    had taken it upon themselves to misinform the
    public by accusing the state government of
    doing nothing to assist the military in its
    operations in the state.
