General Gown said he talked about various issues with the country including the governments efforts at fighting corruption in the country. He said:
“We discussed the
general affairs of the country, the problems of the country, his fight against
corruption, and all the efforts that he is making to deal with it and of course,
the impatience of the public to see results of the fight which have yet to be
found, since people have not been prosecuted yet, that would soon begin.
“These are some of the
issues we talked about. One appreciates his efforts and determination to rid
the country of corruption, which is one of the problems that have held the
country down and has created serious set backs to the country both nationally
and internationally and then, of course, the current situation about the Chibok
girls and the efforts the government is making to rescue them.
He said the government
needed to get credible information about the whereabouts of the girls and also
those that would assist the government achieve that.
“I believe that the
government is certainly determined to ensure that a number of these girls are
brought back home safely as soon as possible. To achieve that, certain
credibility must be established of our sources on information on their
location, but as at now, no one knows where these girls are, and all this information
that you have been getting, I don’t know their sources, but all efforts at
engaging the international media and sources are necessary so that this matter
can be resolved once and for all”, he said.
