The presidency has stated that efforts are still in the works to rescue the remaining Chibok schoolgirls in captivity.
This was contained in a statement released by Garba Shehu, senior special assistant on media and publicity to the president, on Wednesday.
It has been seven years since students of Government Girls’ Secondary School (GGSS) Chibok, Borno state were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents.
Over 100 of the girls are still missing and the federal government has been criticised for failing to rescue all of them.
