President Muhammadu Buhari will visit Yobe State on Wednesday, (today) as part of his visit to states affected by Boko Haram attacks and herdsmen-farmers crisis. Following his arrival in Damaturu, President Buhari is expected to meet with stakeholders – including the state governor, Mr Ibrahim Gaidam, and parents of the abducted students of the Government Girls Science Technical College (GGSTC), Dapchi.
Others expected at the meeting are government officials, traditional rulers, and community leaders.
Members of the terrorist group had invaded the school in February and abducted some students in Yobe. The Federal Government confirmed that 110 girls were unaccounted for after the incident.
Amid calls from Nigerians and international bodies, including the United Nations and the United States for the rescue of the missing girls, President Buhari explained what his administration was doing to ensure their safe return.
While the herdsmen-farmers crisis and Boko Haram attacks have claimed several lives, the Presidency announced on March 5 that the President would be visiting some of the states affected by the killings.
