President Muhammadu Buhari in Damaturu,Yobe state capital, on Wednesday disclosed that his administration’s response to the abduction of the 110 schoolgirls from Government Girl’s Science and Technical School was faster than Goodluck Jonathan administration's response to the abduction of the Chibok school girls, in Borno State.
This was his remark at a town hall meeting with traditional, community leaders and other stakeholders in Damaturu, Yobe State, being part of his part of his nationwide visit to trouble areas in the country.
Buhari said, “The Federal Government’s response to the unfortunate abduction of the school girls is a clear departure from the insensitivity of the past administration which looked the other way while the Chibok girls were taken away in 2014 and held in captivity for over three years.
“Due to our commitment, over 100 Chibok girls have been rescued and reunited with their families, sent back to school and empowered with requisite skills.
“You may recall that recently, our negotiation efforts led to the release of abducted University of Maiduguri lecturers, some women police personnel, students and even an NYSC member.
“We, therefore, have no doubt that the Dapchi girls will be rescued or released. I can reassure parents, Nigerians and the International Community that we will do all that is within our power to make sure that the girls are brought back safely to their families.”
