BEVERLY HILLS, November 17, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that his administration is working round the clock to ensure that the remaining the remaining Chibok schoolgirls, still in Boko Haram captivity, are released soon.
He made this known in Abuja, on Thursday during the book presentation entitled: ‘Making Steady, Sustainable Progressive for Nigeria’s Peace and Prosperity: A mid-term scorecard on the President Muhammadu Buhari Administration.’
“During the year it was my great pleasure to secure the release of 102 Chibok school girls. We are doing our best quietly and effectively as possible to get the rest released,” Buhari said.
We are working day and night with our international partners to release the remaining girls as soon as possible, as well as women and children still on captivity.
“On the current issues on herdsmen/farmers clashes, kidnapping and armed robberies within the confines of our limited resources, we are giving top priority to security.”
THEWILL recalls that members of The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) on Tuesday resumed it’s clamour for the release of the girls abducted since April 2014.
While Boko Haram insurgents abducted 276 girls from the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state, 82 of the girls regained freedom in May 2016, following a prisoner-swap deal with the federal government.
Five months later, 21 girls were also freed.
However, the BBOG group insists that the government can do more to ensure the safe release of the remaining girls.
