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.
