Till date, we are yet to hear anything concerning them.

Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, took to her twitter page to announce the donation of the said amount to the Chibok community, she also stated that the money was a prize given to her by the Queen of Sweden, Silva Renate, who recognized and awarded 10 people from around the world who advocate for Childs Right.

Tsambido Hosea Abana, the Chairman of the Chibok Community in Abuja, confirmed that the donation has been credited into the Chibok community account. He also made an appeal to Nigerians to make donations for the rebuilding of the schools in Chibok, because some of these schools were destroyed during the attack by Boko Haram.

This is a welcome development, we hope other Nigerians will follow suit.
