Okonjo-Iweala admits bad communication on Chibok girls


The Federal Regime did not adequately communicate with the press about the proximately 300 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State in Nigeria’s North-East, Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala admitted to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Thursday.

“This is a very delicate situation with an capricious group. And I cerebrate that maybe this is one of the areas where we have not been able to communicate as well as we can.

“The president has two daughters,” she verbalized. “These children are our children. But we did not communicate that well.”

Critics verbally express that far from just relinquishing lamentable information, the regime relinquished demonstrably mendacious information.

Just days after the abduction in April, the Nigerian military promulgated that all but a handful of the girls had been relinquished; that claim was soon confuted, and the girls are still missing.

“I don’t ken how that transpired,” Okonjo-Iweala verbalized. “The issue now is not whether we are criticised or not criticised inequitably. I cerebrate we should forget about all that.”
