Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has demonstrated his empathy to the parents of the missing girls in Chibok abducted by Boko Haram six years ago.
Today marks exactly six years when the girls were forcefully abducted from their hostel by Boko Haram, who later claimed responsibility and released some of the girls.
On their 6th anniversary in captivity, Governor Zulum sent a delegation of commissioners and a lawmaker to visit Chibok and give emotional support to the parents of the 112 missing girls.
The delegation, which comprised the commissioners for Education, Women Affairs, Poverty Alleviation and a House of Assembly member representing Chibok, delivered Zulum’s message of empathy, hope and assurance to the parents.
The delegation presented relief materials consisting of 500 bags of rice, 250 gallons of cooking oil and 5.6 million naira as social support for parents of the 112 girls still held by Boko Haram.
The Commissioner for Education, Bello Ayuba, in his message to the parents and the Chibok community, said President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Zulum would never give up on rescuing the remaining girls, while expressing their pains as fathers as well.
