The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged the Federal Government to involve clerics in the rehabilitation process and counselling of the 21 released Chibok girls.
Niger State CAN Chairman, Mathias Echioda said this in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday.
“I appeal to the Federal Government to involve clergymen that will use their professional based knowledge and faith to counsel the girls.
“Government should involve seasoned, experienced and informed clergymen to assist in counselling the girls to rebuild their morals and lives,” he said.
Echioda said the clerics will help the girls overcome psychological trauma they went through.
He also said the release of the girls was a miracle Nigerians have been expecting.
“It is a welcome development because it is a miracle that Nigerians and the world have been expecting to happen, long ago. It came at a time when there was no clear knowledge of it coming.
“Our continuous prayer is that the remaining girls be released and reunited with their loved ones.”
