#BringBackOurGirls As Time Is Running Out - Ezekwesili To FG

A former Minister of Education and a convener of the #BringBackOurGirls group, Oby Ezekwesili, has urged the Nigerian government to redeem itself by rescuing the over 250 Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram.

The girls were kidnapped from their dormitory at the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, in April by the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists group. It has been over 150 days since the abduction.
The #BringBackOurGirls led by Ezekwesili group has held various protests since the girls were abducted.

On Thursday, at the day 150 protest for the abducted schoolgirls, the group demanded among others that the Nigerian government intensifies its effort to rescue the girls.

“I think it is necessary for the government to redeem what’s left of the expectations that citizens have by rescuing those girls immediately,”Mrs. Ezekwesili said.
During their 150th day of protest, the group marched from the National stadium roundabout to Area 1, Abuja sharing flyers to motorist, residents and singing their solidarity song.
Mrs. Ezekwesili said that the group would continue its protests until the girls are rescued.
