Encomium
Nigerians, and indeed the world, today yet again joined in solidarity to call for the rescue of the 219 Chibok school girls who were abducted from their dormitory on April 14, 2014.
From the Nigerian Senate, to international agencies and even the worlds youngest Nobel Prize laureate and female education activist, Malala Yousafzai, the wish is the same – that the girls regain freedon and are reunited with their families.
Encomium.ng compiles some of the goodwill messages in commemoration of the Chibok girls’ abduction two years ago.

Today, as we remember the abducted #ChibokGirls, we must make a vow as leaders to never let politics come before discharging our duties.
