Speaking at a meeting with the Minister Of Finance, Mr Mpur said that government’s refusal to rebuild the school will amount to a backward integration for its children who have been out of school since the incident.
On her part, the Mrs Okonjo-Iweala assured members of the Chibok community of government’s commitment to ensure that life returns to the community through the Safe School Initiative and the Presidential Initiative for the North East.
Some members of the Chibok community had rejected the gesture by the government to reconstruct the Government Secondary School, Chibok, where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted on April 14, 2014, insisting on the return of the girls first.
The group rejected the Safe School Initiative of the government at a press conference attended by over 1,000 indigenes of Chibok to react to the visit of a Nigerian government delegation led by the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
The rejection came barely three days after Mrs Okonjo-Iweala laid the foundation for the School destroyed by the Boko Haram sect.
The school was destroyed when the terrorist sect abducted over 200 girls in April last year.
Over 3,000 students in Chibok have been unable to return to school since the deadly attack by Boko Haram in the community."
