Ezekwesili And Buhari To Meet Over Chibok Girls

Dr Oby Ezekwesili, a former Education Minister
and Co-coordinator of the Bring Back Our Girls
(BBOG) campaign Movement is set to meet with
President Muhammadu Buhari over the missing
Chibok girls.

The Coordinator of the BBOG told the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Lagos that the
group sought audience with President Buhari
regarding the fate of the girls and ways to rescue
them successfully.

Ezekwesili said that the group was not relenting on
the girls.
She said: ”We have written to request for a meeting
with the President as we did on several occasions
with the previous government.

”The meeting shall enable us to express our deep
anxieties at the failure of the Federal Government to
rescue our 219 Chibok girls.

”We shall also use the meeting to understand and
contribute to the strategy for countering terrorism,
ensuring post-insurgency recovery and other
related issues.

”We have formally written on behalf of the
BringBackOurGirls movement in Abuja, nationwide,
and all over the world to the President and sought to
meet with him.

”We now await official confirmation and schedule
for the meeting from the President; 276 Chibok
schoolgirls abducted, 57 escaped, 219 still missing,
zero rescued and we are not giving up on them.”

The female students were kidnapped from the
Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno
State on the night of April 15, 2014. The Boko Haram
sect claimed responsibility for the kidnap of the
girls.

In a recent development, six female student from
Chibok community, that escaped from the deadly
terrorist group, Boko Haram, during a raid on
government girls secondary school last year, have
been hosted to a reception at the United States
congress.
