Borno state Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima has asked why the #BringBackOurGirls Group has never visited Chibok community where the school girls were kidnapped.



According to LEADERSHIP, Shettima asked the question when Minister of women Affairs, Aisha Jumai Alhassan paid him a courtesy visit. The Governor said, ''Just last week, we expended a whoping sum of N25 million for the education of the 56 Chibok school girls that escaped from Boko Haram and none of the members of BBOG has visited Chibok to know about the feelings of the parents of the girls.

''They can make a whole lot of noise from the comfort of Abuja, They can dramatize the whole thing. Some of them are former minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and know the protocol of visiting the President, but choose to dramatize their visit.

''Majority of victims of Boko Haram are women and children. In Maiduguri, the capital city of Borno state, we have over 39,000 orphans and in Monguno local government area of the state, we have over 38000 of them and the same applies to other parts of the state. And yet no group or pressure group nor characters in the social media cares to know about this,'' Shettima said.
