Twelve years after their abduction from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, 12 survivors are set to graduate from the American University of Nigeria.
Speaking in Yola, the university’s President, Dewayne Frazier, described the moment as a global symbol of resilience and hope.
“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.
He added that their success shows education remains a powerful tool for healing and transformation.
The girls were among the 276 abducted on April 14, 2014—an incident that sparked the Bring Back Our Girls campaign.
