twelve years after the abduction of 276 students from government girls secondary school, chibok in borno state, a group of 12 survivors is set to graduate from the american university of nigeria (aun) in yola.
speaking to journalists on wednesday at the university campus, aun president dewayne frazier described the milestone as a powerful global symbol of triumph over adversity.
“the graduation of several students who were formerly held captive in the sambisa forest symbolises more than academic achievement; it is a global testament to resilience, hope, and the indomitable human spirit.
“their journey from captivity to a university degree has captured worldwide attention as a victory over adversity,” he said.
frazier noted that the achievement reflects the university’s development-focused vision, demonstrating how individuals can move from trauma to academic and personal success.
“these graduates now stand as beacons of light for the north-east and the world. their success sends a powerful message: education is the most proven tool for healing and transformation, capable of reclaiming lives and building a brighter, more secure future for nigeria,” he added.
he also commended the federal ministry of women affairs for sponsoring the students’ education.
the mass abduction took place on april 14, 2014, when 276 girls were taken by insurgents from their school. while 57 escaped on the night of the incident and several others have since been freed, more than 80 are still missing, according to recent figures.
