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.”
