Malala To Donate $200, 000 Towards The Education Of Chibok School Girls.




Pakistani girls’ education campaigner, Yousafzai Malala, Monday visited President Goodluck Jonathan and announced a donation of $200, 000 from her foundation for the education of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls who were whisked away from their dormitory, over 80 days ago.

During the meeting , President Jonathan said :
                                                 
“I personally believe that since about 50 per cent of our population are female, we will be depriving ourselves of half of our available human resources if we fail to educate our girls adequately or suppress their ambitions in any way. We are therefore taking steps to curb all forms of discrimination against girls and women, and have also undertaken many affirmative actions on their behalf" .   

 "Terror is relatively new here and dealing with it has its challenges. The great challenge in rescuing the Chibok girls is the need to ensure that they are rescued alive. The Government  and its security agencies are  very mindful of the need to avoid the scenario in rescue attempts in other parts of the world where lives of abductees were lost in the efforts to rescue them.”
