The Presidency has reassured parents and concerned citizens that the missing students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno, remain constantly on the minds of government as they are always on the minds of their parents.
Malam Garba Shehu, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, gave the reassurance in a statement to mark the seventh anniversary of the abduction of the Chibok girls.
He also gave assurances that the “release of the remaining Chibok girls is still work in progress.”
Wednesday marks the seventh anniversary of that tragic incident, with calls being renewed for the Federal Government to step up its efforts in facilitating the return of the schoolgirls.
But the presidential spokesman called on Nigerians to continue to remember the nation’s military in their prayers.
“No one is giving up hope here. Efforts to secure their release through various channels and activities of the security and intelligence agencies remain on course,” he added.
According to the presidential aide, the recent decisive push by the military against the terrorists gave hope that a breakthrough was possible and could happen anytime soon.
Shehu asked for support, understanding and prayers for the military as they discharge their historic mandate to quickly finish off the insurgency war and free all citizens held hostage.
