Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, Monday in Chibok, on the invitation of Borno state governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, commissioned the remodeled Government Secondary School Chibok, where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014.
The school was rehabilitated when Zulum gave approval on November 16, 2020, during an assessment visit to the school.
The remodeled school was equipped with classrooms and desks, a computer room, laboratory, among other facilities, while books were presented and a security team being put in place.
The GSS Chibok was vandalised after Boko Haram attacked the school at night in 2014, destroyed infrastructure and abducted over 200 boarding schoolgirls who were writing their Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations organised by the West African Examination Council (WAEC).
Since the attack, the school had remained closed while academic activities took place at a primary school in Chibok town since 2014.
Zulum offered support to parents of the schoolgirls affected by the 2014 abduction, as he had previously done at different times.
Aside unveiling of the GSS in Chibok, Governor Zulum commissioned 200 low cost houses newly built for the permanent resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) currently residing in temporary camps.
Zulum also commissioned a newly built government lodge to encourage routine visits to Chibok in order to increase direct access of residents to authorities.
