In a statement released by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, the NNPP described the ongoing plight of the abducted Chibok girls and subsequent school kidnappings as a “grim tragedy” that continues to afflict the nation, even a decade after the infamous Chibok abduction.

Their fate remains unknown, a stark reminder of the persisting threat of abductions and the agony endured by their families.

“These girls must not be so forgotten. Many are still in captivity without any clear information about their situation,” the NNPP statement read. The party emphasized the urgent need for robust measures to secure educational institutions and expedite efforts to bring the remaining Chibok girls home safely.

The NNPP questioned the effectiveness of existing initiatives aimed at preventing school abductions, such as the “Safe School Programmes,” and called for a thorough review of how rescued individuals are being rehabilitated and reintegrated into society.

“As we remember the agony of the Chibok girls at 10, the concern is how those still in captivity can be rescued, how the more than 20 million out-of-school girls can be tackled and indeed how the government can effectively make the recurring challenge of insecurity a thing of the past or at least drastically reduced given its effects on the nation’s socio-economic development,” Johnson added.
