 Tinubu approves ₦1.85bn for Education, rehabilitation of rescued Chibok Girls


President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the education and rehabilitation of the rescued Chibok girls, approving a total of ₦1.85 billion to sustain their academic and welfare support until 2027.


The Ministry of Education, in a statement on Thursday, explained that the government has so far committed ₦1,854,277,768 to cover tuition fees, accommodation, vocational training, psychosocial care, medical support, and parental assistance. 


“Mr. President has continued to approve the payment of tuition, accommodation, and associated fees to AUN to safeguard the education of these young women. “The Federal Government has committed the sum of ₦1,854,277,768 to complete the Chibok Girls Intervention Programme, covering tuition, accommodation, vocational training, psychosocial care, and other support up to 2027,” the statement read.


Education minister Tunji Alausa noted that the government’s support for the Chibok girls is both a financial and moral obligation, with President Tinubu showing statesmanship by prioritising their education above partisan politics. “This commitment is not only financial; it is moral. It represents Nigeria’s pledge to turn a dark chapter in our nation’s history into a story of resilience, dignity, and hope.


“The education of Nigerian children is beyond partisan politics. Mr President has demonstrated true statesmanship by ensuring that even those studying in institutions owned by his fiercest critics are not deprived of their education and rehabilitation,” Alausa stated.
