President
Buhari says no Nigerian girl child should be put through the horror of forced
marriage. Buhari said this while speaking at the state house where he received
the rescued Chibok girl, Amina Nkeki and her four month old daughter which was
fathered by a Boko Haram commander while she was in the sects captivity.
“The
continuation of Amina’s education, so abruptly disrupted, will definitely be a
priority of the federal government. Amina must be enabled to go back to school.
No girl in Nigeria should be put through the brutality of forced marriage.
Every girl has the right to an education and a life choice. Although we cannot
do anything to reverse the horrors of her past, the federal government can and
will do everything possible to ensure that the rest of her life takes a
completely different course. Amina will receive the best care that the Nigerian
government can afford. We will ensure that she gets the best medical,
psychological, emotional and whatever other care she requires to make a full
recovery and be reintegrated fully into society” the President said adding that
he can only imagine all the girl who was taken away at 17 years had to go
through at such an early stage of her life,” he said.
