In this light, members of the movement in Lagos paid a courtesy visit to the Governor-Elect of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to discuss the plight of the Chibok girls including issue on safe school and displaced people. At the meeting with Sanwo-Olu, the BBOG movement discussed the plight of the Chibok girls and other related issues of concern, which include migration to Lagos, street children, safe school initiative, Nigerian, legion, National Missing Persons’ Register (MPR). They reminded Sanwo-Olu that Lagos has been supportive of the Bring Back our Girls movement since 2014, giving the movement space to meet weekly – first by Marina and now at Falomo Roundabout. In the last five years, 107 of the 219 girls held captive, either escaped, were released after negotiations, or were found after the army liberated the areas where they were being held. To date, 112 Chibok Girls remain captives of the terrorists.
