Abubakar gave the assurance over the weekend while inspecting Air Force projects in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, Daily Trust reports.

“What I can tell you is that we are doing everything humanly possible to deal with all the challenges that there are in the current insurgency going on, that of course involves our trying to locate not only the Chibok girls but every Nigerian that is kidnapped,” he said.

“We are working day and night through intelligence gathering and surveillance. We are expending a lot of flying hours to make sure we are able to locate Chibok girls and every Nigerian that is kidnapped,” he added.

President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier also assured that his government would rescue the girls alive.

However, former president, Olusegun Obasanjo has said that anyone promising the girls’ return is telling lies.
