The United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, on Monday called for the unconditional release of the over 200 girls abducted in their school in Chibok, Borno State last year and other abductees of the Boko Haram sect.
Ban Ki-Moon made the appeal while addressing State House correspondents shortly after having a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, as part of the activities lined up for his two-day visit to the country.
His call came the week the girls will be spending their 500th day in captivity.
He commended Buhari who he said had embarked on an agenda for change in which he was prioritising security and anti-corruption war.
He promised UN support for the President’s agenda, saying “When you change Nigeria, you have also changed Africa.”
Buhari on his part said they discussed the difficult time Nigeria had found itself during the meeting.
He said the step was taken so that the UN could assist the country.
He thanked Ban Ki-Moon for extending invitation to him to attend the UN General Assembly holding in New York on September 27 and 28.
The UN scribe will return to the Presidential Villa by 7pm for a dinner organised in his honour. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

What was UN role b4 now, they were all seated and watching. Now after how long the girls were kidnaped. U are now asking for realease. AnywY,i realy blame last administration for not acting to recover the girls on time. Hoping on US and UK.
