Meanwhile, 5 years after, Governor Zulum has directed the rehabilitation of Government Secondary School, Chibok, where over 200 girls were abducted by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014.

Speaking on the proposed rehabilitation, Governor Zulum said, “I hereby direct the ministry of education to deploy a team of experts to assess the entire school and come up with a design and costing so that I can approve the immediate reconstruction and remodelling of this school.

“We will also ensure that the school is allocated adequate teachers, already I have given a directive for recruitment of more teachers both on permanent and ad-hoc staffing that will include volunteer teachers.

“Of course, before allocation of teachers, the reconstruction will involve the provision of all components of learning materials including functional laboratory for sciences. When I return here next time, I want to see a completely different scene.”
