Will this promise of scholarship get the girls back home?
President Goodluck Jonathan has made a big promise of scholarship for all the abducted schoolgirls of Chibok, Borno State once they are rescued and back home. I hope this gets them home faster.
The president made the promise yesterday in Abuja at the State House during a meeting with 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani advocate of girls’ education rights.
Speaking to journalists after the closed door hour long meeting, Eason Jordan, the Director of Operations for the Malala Foundation, revealed that Jonathan promised scholarship for every one of them, the escaped girls and the ones still in captivity.
“The president told Malala that he can guarantee that all the girls that have been kidnapped, including the ones that escaped, will be given scholarships to go to school in other parts of the country. These were the things that he said and we hope that he will be able to bring them to pass,” Jordan said.
My question is, how will they get this scholarship of they are not brought back?
