President Jonathan yesterday promised girl-child education campaigner
Malala Yousafzai that he will meet the parents of the missing Chibok
girls. He's promised to do all he can to rescue the girls but he never
attempted to go to Chibok and never requested to meet with the missing
girls' parents...until Malala convinced him to do so. Speaking after the
closed door meeting at the state house, Malala said
"I met with the
parents of these girls who are still under the abduction of Boko Haram
and they were crying and hopeless. But still, they have this hope that
there is still someone who can help them. They asked me if there is any chance
for them to meet the President because at this time, they need the
President’s support, so I asked the President if it is possible for him
to go and see them to encourage them and the President did promise me
that he will meet the parents of these girls.
“I spoke to the President about the
girls who complained that they could not go to school despite the fact
that they want to become doctors, engineers and teachers. But the
government is not providing them any facility. They also need health
facility, security and the government is not doing anything.
