Nine years after the abduction of 275 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State, a non-governmental organisation, Murtala Muhammed Foundation (MMF) has released a book titled; “The Stolen Daughters of Chibok”, emphasising the need for women and girls globally, particularly in Nigeria to have security, education and a better future.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation, Dr. Aisha Muhammed-Oyebode, made the disclosure Friday in a press statement as part of activities to mark the 9th year of the abduction carried out by Boko Haram terrorists.

The Development specialist and human rights activist hinted that the book was released last week in the US on April 4 by PowerHouse Books Inc, New York and is being released internationally this Friday, the 9th anniversary of the Chibok abduction.

According to her, “Following the abduction of 276 Chibok girls by Boko Haram in 2014, this book collects the families’ testimonies of loss and hope beginning in 2015, when none of their daughters had been found. As a collection of narratives, the book is a call to action for the restoration of balance in Nigeria’s Chibok community. It features photographs by award-winning photographer Akintunde Akinleye, interviews with the families, and chapters and excerpts by a team of experts, including journalists and psychologists, who have collaborated to create a comprehensive account and thorough examination of this tragedy.”

The Forward for the book was written by the chairman, Board of Trustees of the Murtala Muhammed Foundation, former President Olusegun Obasanjo with essays on violence, gender, and more from writers, novelists, academics, public figures, including Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, Mozambique and South Africa’s former first lady, Graça Machel-Mandela, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, Bishop Mathew Kukah, Professor Femi Oyebode and beyond.

The result is a heart-rending portrayal of the cost of this tragedy, which has touched the lives of communities in Nigeria and across the globe.

Muhammed-Oyebode reiterated that the Foundation is determined to work with partners to improve the status of women and girls around the globe prioritizing safety, education, and economic opportunity. Particularly in the context of Nigeria she noted that, “While progress has been made, it is evident that more needs to be done to develop clear routes that bring women and girls from conflict to safety.”

“The Stolen Daughters of Chibok” the MMF Chief Executive explained “is a tribute to the resilience and courage of the Chibok families, who have refused to relinquish hope despite adversity. This book should be read by anyone who cares about the fate of these brave girls and their families and anyone who believes in the transformative power of literature.

The Murtala Muhammed Foundation is one of Nigeria’s largest charitable foundations with operational expertise across the six key geopolitical zones of the Federation and programs that address the most significant economic and social challenges of our time.

As a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of Africans, the Foundation focuses on engendering self-reliance and fulfilment by working tirelessly on policy and advocacy for issues that impact ethics, equity, good governance and economic empowerment, encouraging education, development, and providing disaster relief.
