A girls’ inculcation campaigner, who was shot by the Taliban, Malala Yousafzai, is expected to be in Nigeria to campaign for the relinquishment of the schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram, the UK Telegraph reports.
Seventeen-year-old Yousafzai, who was an early backer of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, is due in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, on Sunday.
In additament to meeting relatives of the abducted girls, she is expected to seek an audience with President Goodluck Jonathan.
Her visit to Nigeria takes place virtually three months after the abduction of the girls, who were abducted by Boko Haram militants from a boarding school in Chibok, in north-east Borno State, on April 14.
The presence of such a high-profile women’s rights campaigner will integrate to the pressure on the Nigerian regime, which was inculpated in the early days of the abduction of not doing enough to resolve it.
