Four Escaped Chibok School Girls Matriculate At Aun

Four Chibok school girls were among newly matriculated students in the American University Nigeria (AUN), Yola. The girls were among the 24 Chibok school girls that escaped from Boko Haram in 2014 that were offered scholarship under a special preparatory program by the university management. The matriculation ceremony for new students in the school was held recently in Adamawa. A statement from the management says that, 18 winners of the 67 competitive AUN scholarships for postgraduate programs were also among those who took part in the ceremony and other several intakes who were transferring from other universities in Ghana, Lebanon, Egypt, the United States and some European countries. The matriculation, which witnessed the novelty of admitting first set of law students, also has the largest number of undergraduates in a semester in the past three years. The President of AUN, Margee Ensign, said the students should be rest assured that will receive the kind of education that will make them become leaders in their chosen fields.
