Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, has said that the fate of the abducted Chibok girls is a matter close to the president’s heart.

Adesina said further that Buhari will be asking the French President, Francois Hollande for help in rescuing the missing girls who were taken by Boko Haram insurgents on April 14, 2014.

“The president will specifically be asking the French government to assist Nigeria in the area of intelligence and equipment, intelligence to use possibly in the recovery of the abducted Chibok girls and to also win the war against the insurgency conclusively,” Adesina told Voice of America.

“As long as those girls are alive, Nigeria is determined to get them back. It is something that touches the heart of the president that touches the heart of the administration and in whatever way it lies in its power, the government will want to get those girls back,” he added.
