Minister of Education Ibrahim Shekarau has disclosed that the Senior School Certificate results of Chibok students are ready.
Over 200 schoolgirls of Chibok, Borno State, were abducted in April by Boko Haram insurgents.
The minister, who appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Education yesterday over schools' resumption palaver, said the West African Examinations Council notified him of the results, yesterday. He said his ministry would look at this development in view of its security implication.
He said: "In fact, by 1pm today (yesterday), the president has scheduled a meeting in which I am attending, specifically to address some of the issues of girls education in that troubled zone. In fact, this morning, I got a communication from West African Examinations Council that the result of the Chibok Secondary School is out.
"But we have to look at it via- a -viz the security situation and implication before the formal release, because when the abduction took place, some remained and completed their exams, some were taking exams and they were abducted. So, the result is haphazard.
"So, we're addressing that this (yesterday) afternoon. Right now, we are dealing with the situation of Chibok school result. I want to let you know that we are not sleeping, we are having regular meetings. Don't go and quote me that the Chibok school result has been released. Don't forget boys and girls were in the exams, it is not just the girls."
