All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, under the Progressive Governors Forum, (PGF) on Tuesday reaffirmed their committed to working with the Federal Government, local communities and international partners to ensure that the school girls abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state are returned to their families safe and sound.

The Governors who said this in a statement signed by Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, Chairman of PGF, said the forum will donate N100 million to victims of the twin bomb attacks in Nyanya, a suburb of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

“The abduction of these innocent school children is an assault on our nation, an attack on civility and constitutionalism and colossal descent to barbarism, which is unacceptable and should be combated by all patriots,” the statement read.

“We are therefore very grateful to all Nigerians and international community for standing by the innocent students, their parents, Chibok community and the people and government of Borno State.

“We will support the parents and government of Borno State to ensure that our girls all receive treatment for the physical and psychological trauma they might have suffered in captivity.

“We shall also undertake the rebuilding of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok to ensure that the students are able to resume normal life once the girls are rescued.

“More than ever before, we are resolute in our determination to move our dear nation forward. Successful fight against terrorism is a critical precondition for stability and constitutional governance. Together with all progressive and patriotic Nigerians we will join hands to restore peace all over Nigeria.
