The management at the American University of Nigeria » (AUN), Yola, Adamawa State, has revealed its plans to host 27 girls from Chibok out of the 58 that escaped, preparing them for university.
Speaking to Leadership, the president of AUN, Dr Margee Ensign has disclosed that the institution has trained 10,000 young people, elderly people, vulnerable people and women entrepreneurs on information technology and literacy, through its Adamawa Peace Initiative formed in 2012.
“ So, we were building this programme when the IDPs started to come into Yola. At the height of the insurgency, we were feeding every week 276,263 people.
So, for 18 months, that is all we did and now, we are able to get back to some other important projects and the really important one is that we have begun reconciliation efforts. ”
