American billionaire, Mr. Robert Smith, has offered a scholarship to 24 Chibok girls including the 21 who were freed recently from the Boko Haram sect.
According to Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, the girls will be admitted through negotiation at the American University of Nigeria, Yola.
“Smith has offered to pay for the education of the 21 Chibok girls released through negotiations and is offering to take responsibility for all the others who will, hopefully, be eventually set free.
“The Murtala Mohammed Foundation in the country is equally interested,’’ he added.
He added that the recently-released 21 Chibok girls "are being treated as adoptees of the Federal Government, but there is a lot of local and international interest in the future plans of the girls.’’
