Chibok girls: Ex-NBA chairman commends Buhari’s effort

Former Chairman, Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Minna chapter, Taidi Jonathan, has said that the release of the 82 Chibok school girls demonstrated the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari to the welfare of all Nigerians.“It shows that the Federal Government and its partners have the capacity to release the remaining girls. “The release would help to check the emotional trauma the parents of the girls might be facing in the last three years,” Jonathan said.Jonathan, therefore, called on Nigerians irrespective of religious and political differences to support the government in its efforts to provide security and set the nation on the path of prosperity.The former NBA chairman stressed the need for Nigerians to look up to God for solutions to the myriad of problems facing the nation, while he adding that with fervent prayers, all the challenges facing the country would be holistically tackled.Jonathan also encouraged the culture of offering intelligence information to security agencies as this would help in tackling criminality in the society.Recall that Boko Haram in 2014 abducted more than 200 secondary school girls of Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok, Borno. Twenty one of the girls were released in October 2016.
