CHIBOK GIRL BAGS DEGREE 7 YEARS AFTER BOKO HARAM KIDNAPPING

She was the last Chibok girl to escape Boko Haram captivity in 2014; now the first to graduate with a degree in accounting from the American University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa State.

Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president and founder of AUN, took to his social media platforms to share photos from the commencement ceremony which held on Saturday in Yola, Adamawa state capital. Katambi, who donned a graduation gown, was flanked by Abubakar and Akinwumi Adesina, president of the African Development Bank (AFDB) who was the keynote speaker.

"Mary Katambi, I'm proud that seven years after your release from Boko Haram captivity, you've beaten the odds to graduate with a degree in accounting from American University of Nigeria. The best years are still ahead of you," Atiku captioned the photos.
