Twelve Chibok Girls Graduate from AUN After Abduction

On Saturday, 17th, twelve Chibok girls who were abducted in 2014 graduated from the American University of Nigeria (AUN) in Yola, Adamawa State. Vice President Kashim Shettima spoke at the graduation ceremony, highlighting the significance of women's education in national development and the resilience demonstrated by the graduates.

He noted that their success serves as a symbol of hope and empowerment for young women in Nigeria. Shettima also acknowledged the role of AUN in providing a supportive learning environment that enabled these girls to complete their education despite their traumatic past experiences.

AUN President Dewayn Frazier praised the university's mission to bridge the gap between trauma and educational success. The event also served as a reminder of the ongoing plight of the remaining abducted girls, with reports indicating that 80 girls are still missing, and the need for continued public commitment to protect schools and support survivors of violence.
