Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers on Wednesday at the opening ceremony of the Port Harcourt World Book Capital 2014 said his administration was ready to enroll the female students who escaped from abductors in Chibok in Borno last week into its free education scheme.
He said the government had completed seven new model secondary schools in the state built with N4.5million each where students learn free of charge.
Amaechi said there were free laptops, food and uniforms for students who were paired in a room, virtual classrooms with no blackboards and managed by Indians.
"It costs N800,000 to fund the child per year.
"And as Rivers State Governor, I’m willing to take any of the rescued children as many as we can negotiate into our schools free of charge``, he said.
Amaechi said his administration appreciated the challenges posed by out of school children and that the state was working hard to reduce the number.
