Release of Chibok school girls a pleasant 2nd anniversary gift to Nigerians – Buhari


President Muhammadu Buhari has described the rescue  of 82 Chibok schoolgirls as a pleasant 2nd anniversary gift to Nigerians.

The President made this known in Abuja on Sunday at a reception organised in honour of the rescued girls who were brought to Abuja after their release on Saturday.

President Buhari expressed delight over the release of the girls and reassured Nigerians, especially relatives and friends of the determination of his administration to secure freedom for the remaining girls and other Nigerians still under the insurgents captivity.

The Federal Government will like to commend the Security Agencies, the Red Cross, local authorities, local and foreign NGOs and all those who contributed in one way or another to secure the release of our Chibok Girls.

The latest development brings the total of number of girls so far rescued by the Federal Government to 105.

In Oct. 2016, 21 of the girls were freed by Boko Haram after negotiations between the group and the Nigerian government brokered by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Swiss government
