Chibok Secondary School girls, released by the Boko Haram insurgents in May 2017, appealed to the Federal Government to devote attention to the release of other abducted non-schoolgirls👧, who are still under the captivity of the dreaded terrorists.
The girls were released after the Federal Government’s successful negotiation👏 with the notorious sect.
The girls, who spoke through their leader, Miss Hauwa Ntakai, made the call while speaking🔈 with journalists during a special luncheon organised by the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development in Abuja.
The Chibok schoolgirl noted that government was focusing more attention on the release of the abducted schoolgirls because they were captured inside their college.
She urged the government to also direct its attention to other girls in Boko Karam captivity because, according to her, “the Sambisa Forest is a place of sorrow.”
Meanwhile, the Federal Government assured Nigerians that the 106 Chibok girls, released by the Boko Haram insurgents, would resume 🏫school in September 2017👏
The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Jummai Alhassan, stated this during a special lunch organised for the girls and their parents in Abuja and said🔈 that the Federal Government was making efforts to get the remaining girls out of captivity.
She also appealed to the Boko Haram sect to embrace dialogue not only on the issue of the release of the abducted girls and other Nigerians in their custody but also to stop the insurgency in the North- East.
The minister dismissed✋ insinuations that the government was preventing the parents of the girls from visiting them, stressing that the girls were not compelled to be kept in government custody and she said that none of the girls was either HIV-positive or pregnant.
