The Centre for Promotion of Ethics, Values and National Integration (CENPEVNI), has said that it has secured admission for the 57 escaped Chibok school girls from a school in the United States of America (USA), through its collaboration with other groups. The executive director of the group, and project coordinator,Rehabilitation and Reintegration Outreach Mission (RROM), Dr Mercy Sokomba, stated this in Abuja, at a one day Stakeholders Interactive Session on Effective Victim Support Strategies.
She said, offers for completion of education of
the girls, inclusive of scholarship has been
made to RROM through Stefanos Foundation
and the international support groups of RROM.
“The reality of this particular offer is if the girls
are ready for another form of separation from
their parents. However, we have initiated
discussions with some leadership of the Chibok
community and at some point will meet with
them and the parents for consent,” she said.
Sokomba however said that they hope that the
funds and support partnership will consistently
get to RROM for project sustainability within
scheduled time frame so as not to hinder the
progress the outreach mission has made so far.
Commending the efforts of the federal
government in the fight against insurgency,
Sokomba prayed and pleaded for a quick
resolution of the Boko Haram saga and safe
return of the abducted Chibok girls and many
other women and children abducted earlier or
after the Chibok girls.
According to her, “The end of terrorism will
bring an end to the loss of lives and
properties.”
