Finally! Chibok Girls are Back in School


This is a report from a freelance journalist, Mr Femi
Owolabi, according to him, who was at public primary
schools in Chibok and shared photos from Junior Day
Secondary School, “these kids have now become
academically poor”
.Some of them cannot even write their names correctly
again,” Owolabi quoted one of the teachers as saying.
“They’ve been out of school for years, and most of them
have been on the farm with their parents.”He said..
Ladies and gentlemen, guests and friends, I feel excited
to announce to you that public primary schools and
especially, the Junior Day Secondary School in Chibok,
Borno State, are now opened after years that academic
activities have been shut down due to Boko Haram
insurgency.Many thanks to the Nigerian Army Command
in Chibok who has continually assured us of maximum
protection and security for our children.
Sadly, however, after a series of interaction with these
kids, I noticed how academically poor they had become.
“Some of them cannot even write their names correctly
again,” one of the teachers, regrettably, told me.
“They’ve been out of school for years, and most of them
have been on the farm with their parents,” he added.
The students whose schools have been opened couldn’t
hide their excitement as they told me they’ve always
looked forward to returning to school.
With this development, ladies and gentlemen, guests
and friends, permit me to authoritatively say that we are
winning the war!
My reaction when I got to the school and saw it
opened? To hell with Boko Boko, our kids are back in
school!
