Dr Oby Ezekwesili donates $10k prize money to Chibok girls

Former Minister of Education and one of the conveners of the Bring Back Our Girls group, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili has donated $10,000 to the missing Chibok girls. The money was a prize she was given by the Queen of Sweden, Silvia Renate, who recognized and awarded 10 people from around the world who advocate for Childs right. Dr Ezekwesili decided to donate her prize to the Chbok girls.

Confirming her donation, the Chairman of the Chibok community in Abuja, Tsambido Hosea-Abana said her donation has been credited into the Chibok community account
"I can confirm that this money has entered the designed account. We had about N1.1 million donated by people to assist in rehabilitating these girls when they are returned. I am also appealing to Nigerians to donate to the course of rebuilding the schools in Chibok as saome of these schools have been destroyed when the Boko Haram attacked the area.”he said

    I've gathered y'all here today to tell you that Asari Dokubo was right. There are NO missing Chibok girls. I must commend Borno governor and his cohorts for pulling off this plan perfectly. Oby Ezekwesili didn't donate any money to anybody because nobody is missing.
