President Muhammadu Buhari says his government will not rest until the remaining Chibok girls still in Boko Haram’s captivity are rescued.
Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, quoted the president to have said this in Katowice, Poland, at a bilateral meeting with Switzerland President Alain Berset, on the sidelines of the UN Climate Change Conference.
During the meeting, Buhari thanked Switzerland for its efforts and role as an intermediary to secure the release of some Chibok girls.
He assured the Swiss president that the issue of the remaining kidnapped girls and other abducted persons will remain a priority for the Nigerian government.

The president also welcomed the Swiss president’s commitment to continue providing humanitarian assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria.
”We will continue to make the safe release of the remaining Chibok girls a priority and will welcome any kind of support from any quarters to make this happen,” Buhari said.
In another meeting with President Andrzej Duda of Poland, Buhari said Nigeria is facing serious climate change challenges, particularly the receding Lake Chad.
