President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, has called for concerted efforts to bring back the over 200 school girls, abducted from the Government Secondary School, in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, three years ago.
Speaking on the third anniversary of the abduction of the girls, Saraki pledged that the Senate would continue to do everything within its power, to advocate for the return of the remaining Chibok girls.
He stated that their safe return would signify “the closure of a dark chapter in Nigeria’s history.”
A statement by the Media Office of Senate President quoted Saraki as saying: “I speak on behalf of all Nigerians who truly care, mothers and fathers especially, who cannot imagine the pain of not knowing whether one’s abducted child is alive or not.
“I know that this government is continuing to explore all options to secure the release of the remaining girls. We will continue to support the administration’s efforts in every way that we can.”
The Senate President, also expressed optimism that one day, all the Chibok girls would be back to their loved ones, while reassuring Nigerians and the international community, that Nigeria would not stop looking for its missing schoolgirls.
“They are our daughters. We will not stop looking for them. We will not give up the fight, until they return back home to us. Until that day, we will all continue to watch and pray for their safe return,” he said
