Shettima demands probe of N500m meant for reconstruction of Chibok school
Kashim Shettima, governor of Borno state, has called for the probe of the N500 million released for the reconstruction of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in 2014.
The administration of former president Goodluck Jonathan announced the release of the money after the abduction of Chibok school girls.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance, had flown to Chibok to inaugurate the N500 million rebuilding project under the Safe School Initiative programme.
Two years on, the project is yet to be competed while students of the school are still at home.
Shettima told residents of Chibok that the government would pressurise the federal government to uncover those who might have diverted the money.
He governor lamented that a lot of individuals and groups have turned the misfortune of Boko Haram victims into a money making venture.
He said it was important to determine how much was released to the contractor handling the project as the school has remained in a state of disrepair.
