The education of the released Chibok girls is being sponsored by an American billionaire, Mr. Robert Smith.
This was revealed by Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity on Tuesday.
Shehu was speaking on the state of the school girls, who have been reunited with their families.
He said: “A black American billionaire, Mr. Robert Smith who is currently sponsoring the education of 24 girls from Chibok, among them the first set set of escapees from Boko Haram at the American University of Nigeria, Yola has offered to pay for the education of the 21 released through negotiations and is offering to take responsibility for all the others who will hopefully be eventually set free.
“The Murtala Mohammed Foundation in the country is equally interested.”
