BBOG Group Welcomes FG’s Feedback On Chibok Girls’ Rescue Operation

It seems the series of activities the #BringBringBackOurGirls group has embarked on in order to re-engage the government on the issue of the abducted Chibok girls have yielded fruit as government finally broke it’s silence.

The Buhari administration has announced a fresh bid to rescue the abducted Chibok schoolgirls from Boko Haram.

Recall that the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Friday has addressed Journalists on the issue.

Lai had said that previous efforts to bring back the girls were frustrated by in-fighting among the insurgents and middle men, who exploited the process for pecuniary gains.

Reacting to the minister’s  briefing, the spokesperson of the group , Abubakar Abdullahi stated that it was a welcome development adding that it hoped the feedback on the rescue operation of the girls will be a continuous process.

“It’s a start. We have been asking for feedback on the rescue efforts. We welcome factual communication and hope this signals a period of continuous feedback. We will monitor progress and act accordingly, “ he said.
