FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Mojúbàolú Olufúnké Okome mojubaolu@gmail.com (718) 951-5000 x 1742 NYC Monday 15th August 2016 Yesterday, on Day 853 after the abduction of our #ChibokGirls, a new “proof of life” video about our #Chibokgirls was in circulation, broadly disseminated and widely commented upon in the media.  It is heartrending that these young women have been in captivity for so long in the hands of brutal, violent insurgents who are determined to use them as bargaining chips for their diabolical power-seeking agenda.  It is unfortunate that our #Chibokgirls have been left at the mercy of their abductors for 854 days today.  We are saddened and disheartened that our #Chibokgirls families and loved ones have had to cope for so long with their absence.  Nonetheless, we are determined to be hopeful that our #Chibokgirls and all other abducted Nigerians, particularly the girls, boys, and women will all be rescued and reunited with their fam...

"Guaranteed equal and equitable access to excellent education, especially for girls, builds a better world and glorious future. Excellent education should be a right available to every child.  It’s an investment in the future. It supports human and national security. I’m from Nigeria, which has the most out of school children in the world (over 10 million) . I call on Nigeria’s government to actualize its Education for All commitment, and to rescue our Chibok Girls, abducted from their school by Boko Haram over two years ago. Let’s make all schools safe havens where children can joyfully learn, thrive, and grow."  The quote above is for my 30 second Youtube clip for the Education Commission video challenge sponsored by Global Citizen. It will be recorded at the Youtube Headquarters in NYC today, Friday, June 24th. Participants were asked to answer the question: "How can education best prepare you for your future? And what would your ideal schoo...
