President Buhari says no Nigerian girl child
should be put through the horror of forced
marriage. Buhari said this while speaking at the
state house where he received the rescued
Chibok girl, Amina Nkeki and her four month old
daughter which was fathered by a Boko Haram
commander while she was in the sects captivity.
“The continuation of Amina’s education,
so abruptly disrupted, will definitely be a
priority of the federal government. Amina
must be enabled to go back to school.
No girl in Nigeria should be put through
the brutality of forced marriage. Every girl
has the right to an education and a life
choice. Although we cannot do anything
to reverse the horrors of her past, the
federal government can and will do
everything possible to ensure that the
rest of her life takes a completely
different course. Amina will receive the
best care that the Nigerian government
can afford. We will ensure that she gets
the best medical, psychological,
emotional and whatever other care she
requires to make a full recovery and be
reintegrated fully into society” the
President said adding that he can only
imagine all the girl who was taken away
at 17 years had to go through at such an
early stage of her life,” he said.
