Reps probe Jonathan’s N500m safe-school project over Chibok abductions
Published 29 April 2021
THE House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the alleged abandonment of Federal Government’s Safe School Initiative, especially the N500m allocated to the rehabilitation of the Government Secondary School Chibok, Borno State, where Boko Haram abducted over 200 schoolgirls.
The probe is coming in the wake of incessant attacks on schools, abduction and killing of students, especially in the northern part of Nigeria.
The Goodluck Jonathan-led administration had launched the Safe School Initiative after the insurgents attacked the Chibok school.
The initiative was to ensure that all schools in Nigeria were safe from further attacks.

Time has run out for Christian pastor Bulus Yakuru, who is due to be executed by the Boko Haram Islamic terror group on Wednesday, after having been abducted in northeast Nigeria on December 24, 2020.
On Wednesday, February 24, Boko Haram released a video threatening to kill the pastor in one week if their demands to the Nigerian government were not met.
In the video, Pastor Yakuru is seen pleading with Nigerian President Buhari, Borno state Governor Babagana Zulum, and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to intervene to secure his release.
A black-masked Boko Haram terrorist wearing camouflage gear stands behind the pastor brandishing a knife, as the pastor, clad in an orange jumpsuit, insists that his captors issued him an ultimatum, threatening to kill him a week from that date.
