Photos from President Jonathan's meeting with Chibok Girls & Parents

 President Jonathan finally met with the parents of the abducted Chibok girls as well as the rescued girls,today July 22nd at the State House Abuja.
“Anyone who gives you the impression that we are aloof and that we are not doing what we are supposed to do to get the girls out is not being truthful.
“Our commitment is not just to get the girls out, it is also to rout Boko Haram completely from Nigeria. But we are very, very mindful of the safety of the girls. We want to return them all alive to their parents. If they are killed in any rescue effort, then we have achieved nothing,” “Our duty now is to take all relevant steps to recover our girls alive and our primary interest is getting them out as safely as possible. I will not want to say much, but we are doing everything humanly possible to get the girls out.
“This not the time for talking much. This is the time for action. We will get to the time that we will tell stories. We will get to the time that we will celebrate and I assure you that, by God’s grace, that time will come soon,”

The principal of the school, community leaders,security heads and the Finance minister Ngozi -Okonjo Iweala were present.. It was a close door meeting and the media was barred from entry...
