The Federal Government on Tuesday
released the full list of names as well as the classes of the 110 girls who got
missing after suspected members of the Boko Haram sect attacked the Government
Girls Science and Technical College, GGSTC, in Dapchi, Yobe State, on February
19, 2018.
Going by the list, 40 of the
girls still unaccounted for are in Senior Secondary School, SSS 1, making it
the class with the highest figure, followed by SS 2 where 19 schoolgirls were
discovered to be missing. The class with the lowest number is Junior Secondary
School, JSS 1 with eight missing students.
This was contained in a statement
issued in Abuja on Tuesday by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, who has twice led a Federal Government delegation to Yobe state
since the tragic incident occurred.
The list, which was handed over
to the Minister by the Yobe State Government, contains the name, age and class
of each of the 110 students.
Out of the 110 missing girls, 8
are in JSS1, 17 in JSS2, 12 in JSS3, 40 in SS1, 19 in SS2 and 14 in SS3. The
girls’ ages range from 11 to 19 years.
The list, which also contains the
contact address and phone number of each missing girl, was verified by a
26-member Screening Committee that includes the Executive
Secretary, State Teaching Service Board, Musa Abdulsalam; Director, Schools’
Management, Ministry of Education,
Shuaibu Bulama; Principal of
GGSTC, Adama Abdulkarim; the two Vice Principals, Ali Musa Mabu and Abdullahi

Masters for all the classes.
The statement signed by the
minister’s aide, Segun Adeyemi, further revealed that the Chief of Air Staff,
Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, on Tuesday relocated to Yobe State to personally
superintend the search for the girls.

security agencies ramp up their efforts to locate and rescue the girls.
As at 6 pm on Monday, the NAF had
flown a total of 200 hours while conducting the search.
