The #BBOG has urged the federal government to do more to facilitate the rescue of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.

This was contained in a press release by the chairperson, Strategic Team of the #BBOG group, Mrs Aisha Yesufu, yesterday.

Mrs. Yesufu said, “The 13th October is a most memorable day for the #BBOG group, as there are pleasant news of the return of 21 of the 218 abducted chibok girls.”

Similarly the chairperson of the group, Dr Oby Ezekwezili, said, it was, indeed, a remarkable event as Nigerians, and the entire global public shared an emotional state, as they watched pictures of the girls re-unite with their parents.

“Two weeks after our monitoring commenced, precisely on the 13th October, we received the pleasant news of the return of 21 of our missing 218 #ChibokGirls. Like the rest of the Nigerian and global public that have shared solidarity with our girls, we were delighted to see emotional images of the 21 girls as they reunited with their parents. We welcome the assurance by the federal government that it is working assiduously to bring back the rest of our girls. So, while we continue to celebrate the return of now 22 #ChibokGirls within the last three weeks, we urge the government to speed up efforts for the rescue of the 196 girls on or before the end of 2016.

“We will as usual keenly play our vigilance role as a citizens’ movement and support the government as it seeks to achieve this objective,” it said.
