Shehu said that the girls will be admitted through negotiation at the prestigious American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, with the American billionaire footing the entire bill of the girls’ tuition, accommodation, feeding and other related expenses. It costs anywhere from $5,000 to $11,000 a year to educate a student at the school which is owned by wealthy frontline Nigerian politician and businessman Atiku Abubakar.

“Smith has offered to pay for the education of the 21 released through negotiations and is offering to take responsibility for all the others who will hopefully be eventually set free,’’ Shehu added.

Robert Smith, the equity king and billionaire tech investor, was recently named at one of the richest people in the world but the quiet guru has also invested his money for the culture.

The billionaire now helps pay for the education of 24 girls from the Chibok region in Nigeria, many of whom fled Boko Haram last year according to Forbes. Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Nigeria’s President, Garba Shehu, says the scholarships will help the young girls after their traumatic ordeal.
