In its continuous push for the release of abducted Chibok school girls in Borno State, northeast, Nigeria, the pressure group ‘BBOG’ on Monday, faulted the Buhari’s administration over its silence on the remaining girls in captivity.
In a statement made available on Monday, the group said, “Today marks 1,336 days too long since the tragic abduction of our # ChibokGirls from Government Secondary School, Chibok, on the 14th of April, 2014.
“While we appreciate the return of 106 of our #ChibokGirls, we accept no justification for the continued captivity of the 113 #ChibokGirls that are yet to return for 906 days under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“It has been far too long without any further progress or tangible evidence that sustained and results-focused effort is being made to rescue them.
“It does sadly appear as though the Presidency considers the return of the last batch of 82 #ChibokGirls as the conclusion of the #ChibokGirls tragedy.
“We vehemently oppose any such stance and impression the public is reading from the absolute detachment of the President and the Federal Government to the pain of the families of the remaining#ChibokGirls.
“All our missing 113 Girls and all other known victims of terrorists abduction must be rescued immediately by the Federal Government.
“As a movement, we have continued to keep our promise and commitment to advocating for our #ChibokGirls.
“We continue to sit daily at the Unity Fountain and in Lagos for all of 1,321 days as at today.
“The Government cannot rest from its own pledge to rescue our #ChibokGirls with even greater urgency and results.

Traffic signs and signals help indicate the rules of the road and are designed for the safe movement of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. As a driver, you are required to know them. The shapes of traffic signs enable you to identify them easily. Clear and efficient signing is an essential part of highway and traffic engineering and a road with poor signing or with badly maintained signs is classed as an unsatisfactory road. With this in mind, Nigerian roads could be classed as unsatisfactory, as they are bare of road signs. Road users depend on signing for information and guidance, enforceme...

Northern youths warn Obasanjo over attacks on Buhari

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has lambasted former President, Olusegun Obasanjo for his attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari. Obasanjo recently advised Nigerians not to re-elect Buhari in 2019 . But the group in a statement signed by its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, on Friday, slammed the ex president for the comment. “For quite some time, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has turned himself into a self-appointed messiah in the efforts to define the political and democratic future of this country. “And the result of this meddlesomeness by the former president has been disastrous for the country,” the group said. AYCF said that it is disgusting that the former president is still bent on interfering with Nigeria’s leadership problems created by people like him. The group said that it has noticed that the former president has made it a duty to lampoon President Buhari at every given opportunity, in a desperate bid to portray himself as Niger...
