Women all over the country will on Wednesday stage a one million women march in Abuja to press for the release of Government Girls Secondary School girls kidnapped in Chibok, Borno State, by suspected insurgents two weeks ago.
Prof. Hauwa Abdu Biu disclosed this yesterday during an emergency meeting convened by the wife of Borno State governor, Hajiya Nana Kashim Shettima on the way forward for the release of the girls.
She had last week spoken on behalf of the coalition of Borno women after their meeting in which they called for the release of the school girls.
The women had also offered to go to the Sambisa Forest in search of the school girls.
Biu said at the meeting that the one million women march, which was tagged “Free our girls”, would involve women in the country and called for the mobilisation of Borno women to Abuja for the rally.
“The last time, we were in black but this time around the colour for the Abuja rally is red, so we should all be prepared and mobilised ourselves for the rally,” she said.
The first lady, while addressing the meeting, called on the wives of the service chiefs, both in the state and at the federal, to assist in mounting pressures on their husbands to intensify efforts towards rescuing the abducted girls.
