LEADERSHIP recalls that there has been ill feeling from the Chibok community over the abandonment of the school years after its destruction despite huge amount said to have been approved for the reconstruction of the school.
Shortly after the abduction and destruction of the school, former President Goodluck Jonathan through his finance minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala visited Chibok in March 2015, where she laid a foundation for the rebuilding of the school. Jonathan was defeated in the presidential election few weeks later and the responsibility for its completion falls on the new administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Representative of President Muhammadu Buhari at the commissioning ceremony, the minister of women affairs, Mrs Pauline Tallen, said, she was in the state to bring goodwill message of President Buhari to the people of Borno, especially those in Chibok. She thanked Borno State government for single handedly renovating the school. Government, she said, is determined to provide quality education, especially to the downtrodden and to improve the girl-child education.
In his remarks, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for his support and pledged his administration’s commitment to uplifting the education sector in the state.
Will there be security? That is the question for the authorities to answer
