Shettima, Chibok Elders Meet 82 Freed Schoolgirls by Priscy01(f): 4:22am On May 10, 2017
Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State yesterday led stakeholders and elders from Chibok community to the DSS Medical Centre where the governor’s delegation met with the 82 schoolgirls freed by Boko Haram three years after their abduction at Government Secondary School, Chibok.

The governor’s wife, Nana Shettima was also at the centre to meet the girls. Shettima’s delegation included the District head of Chibok, prominent elders, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, lawmakers at the House of Representatives and Borno State Assembly representing Chibok and other government officials from Chibok community.

The governor was received by the Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs Jummai Alhassan and the Chief Medical Director of the Department of State Services Medical Centre, Mrs Ann Okorafor. Alhassan revealed that although the 21 girls freed by the insurgents in October, last year, have been under the custody of the Federal Government and undergoing rehabilitation, Shettima has been making financial contributions to the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs to co-fund the rehabilitation and skills acquisition programmes.

“The people of Borno State are lucky to have a compassionate Governor who cares deeply and genuinely for his people.

The 21 girls freed last year are under the Federal Government but Governor Shettima said these girls are his daughters; they are citizens of Borno and as such, he was still going to be making contributions so that whatever we planned as Federal Government could be improved upon and he has been supporting us.

He offered support without us asking and I am sure he will still support us in managing our 82 daughters by the time they leave this hospital and come to us” the Minister said. Shettima told the girls that he was so full of joy and looks forward to receiving their remaining counterparts still being held.

“By the grace of God, your sisters will be also be freed. We have a determined President. All we need is to support him and pray for him. I assure you that we shall do whatever we can to make you not only comfortable but to actualize your dreams of becoming whatever you wanted while in school. 56 of your colleagues, who escaped from abduction are in their final year in two international private schools.

They are doing very well. We will work with the Federal Government and your parents to determine what is best for you. For now, the focus is on your health. I will urge you to cooperate with the physicians here. Please, do not hide anything from them.

They are trained to keep your medical records confidential and the information you give them is what they need to assess your health.”

Why hide them from the press? I want the press to interview them.

There's something under the carpet. #allowthemtobeinterviewed.
