Mr. Gordon Brown, the United Nations' Special Envoy on Education, during the World Economic Forum, #WEF on Friday in Abuja praised the Nigerian Government's zero tolerance for terrorist groups.
He said President Goodluck Jonathan and other Nigerians were determined to locate the missing girls and safely return them to their families.
"The first thing is to do everything possible to find the girls, and there is determination on the part of the world community to support this cause, which is being reflected in their actions.
"I can say that China, the U.S., France and Britain have got (military) advisers who are coming or are already here.
"I was able to convey messages from other governments to the President (Jonathan) today (Friday) on the help they can offer.
"I am also assured by my conversation with John Kerry, the U.S. Secretary of State, and then with the President that the efforts have been stepped up in a very good way,’’ Brown said.
Brown said it was possible that some of the girls might have been taken to border countries, pointing out that it would require international co-operation to release them.
The UN official said the world community was in solidarity with Nigeria in the "Bring back our girls’ campaign, saying "this shows that we all feel the same on the issue".
