WAEC Results Of Chibok Girls Are Ready - Education Minister reveales

The Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau yesterday disclosed that the results of the Chibok schoolgirls who wrote the May/June 2014 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) exams are ready.
The minister, disclosed this at a stakeholders’ meeting, organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Education, over the Federal Government’s directive that schools resume on September 22
.
He said the results were being reviewed by the education ministry, because of the “haphazard” nature of the situation caused by Boko Haram’s abduction of some of the schoolgirls
“We (the ministry) have to look at the results vis-a-vis the security situation and implication, before the formal release. It is right now in my possession, because when the abduction took place, some remained, completed their exams. Some were taking exam and they were abducted. So, the result is haphazard.”

It will be recalled that the boko haram sect on April 14 abducted more than 200 girls from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State while they were preparing for their exams. While some of the girls managed to escape after being abducted from their school, the majority are still being held hostage in the insurgents’ camp believed to be a forest located in Sambisa, Borno State. Their exact whereabouts remain unknown over 150 days after the sad incident.

The minister, who assured the committee that the Federal Government has not lost hope in its bid to secure the release of the girls, added that efforts were also being made to improve on girl child education generally in the North-East zone
