American University of Nigeria statement regarding the above story published by Thomson Reuters Foundation:
We agree with the Ministry of Women Affairs, all of our students, including the young women from Chibok, are covered at our AUN Health Center on campus, this is accurate. All students pay a health center fee at AUN, whether AUN students or the young women from Chibok, and this fee covers the cost of the care at our AUN Health Center on campus. Our AUN Health Center on campus is not a hospital, but it does provide basic health care for routine medical illnesses. When a student has a health issue that is beyond our AUN Health Center, we inform the student’s parents and refer the student to FMC-Yola, which we have done with our student. We look forward to her return to our learning community soon.
