The lawmakers said it was a shame and embarrassing that the girls were still with their abductors a year after they were kidnapped.e
Boko Haram insurgents kidnapped the students on April 14, 2014. Their abduction had elicited outrage both within and outside the country.
Describing their abduction as a national embarrassment, the House charged the Presidency and security operatives to ensure that the girls were rescued before the expiration of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
The House’s resolution followed a motion under matters of national importance, sponsored by Abike Dabiri-Erewa (Lagos, APC).
The Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, said: “As a nation, we must do everything humanly possible to recover these girls.
“We pray that God in his infinite mercy should guide our security agents on the recovery of the girls. “
He lamented that the claim by security operatives that they knew the whereabouts of the girls was not correct, saying: “As a government we should do everything possible to bring them back.”
