The remaining 130 schoolchildren abducted in Niger State have been released and reunited with their families.
The confirmation was made by religious and community leaders who played a role in the negotiations.
The pupils were kidnapped earlier this year during an attack on their school which sparked national outrage.
According to officials the children were released without payment of ransom following sustained dialogue and security pressure.
Medical checks were conducted to ensure their wellbeing before they were handed over to parents.
The state government expressed gratitude to security agencies and community leaders for their efforts.
Parents described the moment as emotional and filled with relief after months of uncertainty.
Education advocates have renewed calls for stronger protection of schools nationwide.
