Nigerian president says abducted girls will be found
Print Edition
NIGERIAN President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday pledged to find more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist rebels, as the crisis overshadowed his opening address to the World Economic Forum on Africa, a conference designed to showcase investment opportunities in Africa’s biggest economy.
Jonathan thanked foreign nations including China, the United States, Britain and France for their support in trying to rescue the girls, who were kidnapped from a secondary school on April 14 by Boko Haram.
“As a nation we are facing attack from terrorism,” Jonathan told delegates in the capital Abuja.
“I believe that the kidnap of these girls will be the beginning of the end of terrorism in Nigeria.”
Despite such pledges, Jonathan admitted on national television this week that he had no idea where the girls were.
