Promise fulfilled: Aisha Buhari hands over her ₦30m donation to the Chibo girls’ parents

On Saturday, the Wife of the President, represented by Hajiya Nana Shettima, the wife of the Borno State governor, presented about N30m cash support to parents of the abducted Government Secondary School (GSS), Chibok, students in Borno, at a ceremony in Maiduguri.

Her speech: “Today’s presentation was in fulfillment of the promise I made earlier in the year during my book launch in Abuja. I made a promise that the proceeds will be use to better the lives of women and victims of insurgency in the North East.

This money is not a sort of compensation, but a kind of support for those in need. Our immediate prayer is for God to help trace and rescue the abducted girls so that they can be safely re-united with their families.” Each of the 215 parent was given a cash of N139,000 during the event.
