President Buhari says the continuation of Amina’s education,
so abruptly disrupted, will definitely be a priority of the federal government.
Buhari while speaking at the state house where he received
the rescued Chibok girl, Amina Nkeki and her four month old daughter said no
Nigerian girl child should be put through the horror of forced marriage.
“The continuation of Amina’s education, so abruptly
disrupted, will definitely be a priority of the federal government. Amina must
be enabled to go back to school. No girl in Nigeria should be put through the
brutality of forced marriage. Every girl has the right to an education and a
life choice. Although we cannot do anything to reverse the horrors of her past,
the federal government can and will do everything possible to ensure that the
rest of her life takes a completely different course. Amina will receive the
best care that the Nigerian government can afford. We will ensure that she gets
the best medical, psychological, emotional and whatever other care she requires
to make a full recovery and be reintegrated fully into society” the President
said adding that he can only imagine all the girl who was taken away at 17
years had to go through at such an early stage of her life,” he said.
Amina four month old daughter was fathered by a Boko Haram
commander while she was in the sects captivity.
