Seven years after their abduction from the government secondary school in Chibok by the terrorist group Boko Haram in north-eastern Nigeria, more than 100 schoolgirls remain unaccounted for. On the sad anniversary, the parents of these children have again called on the Nigerian government to redouble its efforts.
On its part, the Nigerian Presidency has reassured parents and concerned citizens that the missing students are always on the mind of the government. Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, gave the assurance in a statement on the 7th anniversary of the abduction of the Chibok girls.
According to the presidential aide, the recent decisive push by the army against the terrorists gives hope that a breakthrough is possible and may happen soon. Garba Shehu asked for support, understanding and prayers for the military as they carry out their historic mandate to quickly end the insurgency and release all citizens taken hostage.
