The Borno state government has released the identities of 53 schoolgirls who escaped from Boko Haram.
The 53 girls are part of the over 200 girls who were abducted from Government Secondary School, Chibok on April 14, 2014.
Some 276 girls remain missing, and U.S. and UK officials and agents have arrived Nigeria to help the Federal Government rescue the girls.
The special adviser to the President on media and publicity, Reuben Abati, said in a statement late Thursday that the president had met with the U.S. ambassador to discuss “the modalities for the actualization” of the U.S. offer of help.

Chibok residents are staging a street protest Friday to press Borno’s government to do more to find the missing girls.
