Chibok Girls Set to Graduate from Yola University

Twelve Chibok girls, who were among the 276 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram from their secondary school in Chibok, Borno State on April 14, 2014, are set to graduate from the American University of Nigeria (AUN) in Yola. This event was announced by AUN President, Prof.

Deyawn Frazier, during a press briefing on Wednesday at the university campus. He described the graduation of these Chibok survivors as a global success story and a testament to resilience and the indomitable human spirit.

The graduates, who were formerly held captive in the Sambisa Forest, symbolize academic achievement and serve as a beacon of hope in the northeast of Nigeria. Prof.

Frazier emphasized that their success sends a powerful message about education as a transformative tool capable of healing trauma and enabling individuals to reclaim their lives and build a brighter future. The abduction incident triggered the global #BringBackOurGirls campaign, highlighting the plight of the remaining 80 girls who are still unaccounted for.
