A team of US Congress members have advised the federal government to set up a National Victims’ Fund for the rehabilitation of victims of Boko Haram attacks.
US Congress woman, Ms Sheila Jackson-Lee, gave the advice yesterday at the Unity Fountain, Abuja, at the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. She said the fund would help in reducing the sufferings of victims, and to help rehabilitate the girls who escaped from the captivity of the terrorist sect.
“So we come today with a solution, we also come today in asking the North-East and Nigeria to continue to accept international help and it is time to find a way to contain Boko Haram and save the lives of so many,” she said.
Other congress members at the meeting were Steve Stockman, Frederica Wilson and Lois Frankel.
