The Federal Government has promised to give scholarships and jobs to the 21 Chibok girls who were released on Thursday.

In a statement by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President was quoted as saying the government would take care of the girls.

Osinbajo said the girls will still be in care of the government for sometime before they are allowed to leave with their parents.

“You can’t immediately be taken out of here because we need to be sure that you are in very good health,” he said.

“We are also going to see to it that everything that you require going forward, perhaps your education, those who need to go back to school, those who need to find employment; we are going to make sure that we make all the provisions for you.

“The federal government is very committed. The president, in particular, has asked me to tell you how excited he is. When you were away, he kept saying that if it were his daughter, he wouldn’t even know what to do.”
