Oluremi Tinubu Hosts Rescued Chibok Girl At Presidential Villa
On Friday, Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu welcomed Rebecca Kabu who was one of the 276 chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014.
The First Lady, who hosted Rebecca at the Presidential Villa in Abuja along with the wife of the Vice President, Mrs Nana Shettima, promised to ensure that the former schoolgirl is well taken care of medically and fit to return to school willingly.
Mrs. Tinubu expressed gratitude to the National Security Adviser (NSA), the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), and other security agencies and individuals engaged in Rebecca’s rescue despite her emotional distress.
She said, “Our dear daughter, Rebecca, I welcome you; I’ve been praying for you all night; it is well with you; what has happened to her is traumatising; words are inadequate for me to describe it.
“Cases of amnesia should be treated; it is difficult to get by, but since you are still here, God has plans for you. I thank the offices of the NSA and NIA for not relenting and everyone who is assisting in her rehabilitation.
“Rebecca will be our first comeback story and returnee, she is our first fruit; she is a case I am quite interested in to see that she can go back to school at her own pace”.
According to the first lady, her NGO, Renewed Hope Initiative, is strongly working on how mature girls who are forced out of school can return to school for quality education.
She promised that Rebecca would be one of the first recipients of her free education benevolence.
