Campaigners calling for the rescue of abducted school girls in Chibok, Borno State have asked the government to focus on the rescue of the girls rather than raising funds for their rehabilitation.
The advice is coming a day after the Federal Government generated 50 million Naira for the victims of the insurgency in the northeast at a fund raising dinner held in Abuja.
The group described the gesture of the government as a misplaced priority, restating their commitment to constantly demanding for the rescue of the girls by the government.
It is 109 days since over 200 school girls were abducted in their dormitory in Chibok, Borno State by members of a terrorist group, Boko Haram and the campaigners have continued to hold sit-out sessions at the Unity Fountain ground in spite of the whether condition.
Deviation From Major Objective
This time, the evening showers in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, did not stop them from gathering.
One after the other, they raised concerns over the recent launch of the victims support initiative.
Most of the members say the fund raising is a deviation from the major objective of rescuing the girls. In all, they plan to keep demanding the safe return of the girls.
The military said in May that it had identified the locations of the girls but was applying caution to ensure there would be no casualty.
In a recent meeting with the parents of the abducted girls, President Goodluck Jonathan promised the safe return of the girls, but the campaigners and members of the international community hope to see the rescue of the Chibok girls soon.
