The officials of the Borno State Government has revealed that the
reconstruction of Government Secondary School, Chibok is still in
progress.
According to the officials, there is a slow pace because there is
need for the state government to access the level of work so as to
monitor the progress.
The officials explained that work will soon continue as soon as the state government concludes it assessment.
Also, a member of the#BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) group, Sanusi Abiola who was part of the meeting, noted since the federal government is funding the reconstruction, it has become important for the state to monitor the project.
It will be recalled that the school
was destroyed by terrorist group, Boko Haram, on the night of Monday,
April 14, 2014 when the group launched the attack which saw them kidnap
more than 200 schoolgirls.
Ever since the Chibok Secondary
School community in Borno State had lamented the inability of the
present administration to continue the reconstruction of the school.
The vice president of Chibok Community in Abuja, Nkeki Mutah had
stated that the renovation of the school which was burnt during the
attack still remained uncompleted after work started during the past
administration.
Nkeki stated that the school was the only one around the area which
the children in Chibok and its environs attended adding that for nearly
two years, after the abduction, the children in the area have been out
of school.
He, however, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to assist the
community in the completion of the renovation of the school so that the
children will see the four walls of the school again. Thanks for reading.
