The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development Aisha Alhassan has indicated that the government is ready to swap Boko Haram members for the rest of the Chibok girls without regret.
She said at a press conference on Thursday in Abuja that negotiations are ongoing and if the government had its way “the girls will be released tomorrow”.
“We cannot say when the girls will be released, if they will release the remaining girls for their members we will gladly do that and we don’t regret our actions,” Senator Aisha Alhassan said.
82 Chibok girls were released last Saturday in exchange for Boko Haram militants. 113 girls are still with the terrorist group.
Aisha Alhassan said her outfit is taking care of the rehabilitation of the 82 girls who will undergo medical tests and a reintegration programme.
She added that photographs of the 82 girls have been sent to Chibok and surrounding villages to enable the parents verify and confirm the identities of their daughters.
