DEJI OF LAGOS IS OF THE VIEW THAT THE ABDUCTED SCHOOLGIRLS DESERVE MORE ATTENTION - 3

It is disheartening to hear the captors have escaped with some of the abducted girls to Chad Republic lending credence to the porosity of our borders. Why is it difficult for the Nigerian Air force, if one may ask, to engage in consistent aerial surveillance across the Nigerian borders? Why has the Nigerian government not called for assistance from the Western world if the challenges are beyond what can be handled locally?

Why are our leaders not sympathetically addressing their minds to the plight of the highly traumatised parents and guardians of the abducted girls? By now most of the parents might be having sleepless nights; some perhaps going on hunger strike when it is business as usual at government circles. We heard of the cancellation of this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting because of only one Nigerian. Why not give similar prominence for the over 200 young schoolgirls who constitute future leaders?
