Names of missing Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgency five years ago are displayed in Abuja during the 5th year anniversary of their abduction yesterday.
Last Sunday marked five years since the Chibok girls were abducted. I am glad that some of them have been rescued but efforts must be made to rescue the remaining girls. Each day that passes, the parents of the girls suffer anguish. Aside that the longer they remain in captivity, the slimmer their chances of getting out and making something good of their lives. Government should deploy the resources it used in rescuing the initial set to get out the remaining ones. Furthermore, there is the case of Leah Sharibu. Government should work hard and rescue her. The quest for girl-child education may suffer a setback if these girls are not rescued. All hands should be on deck to save the girls.
