President Goodluck Jonathan will on Friday, May 16, 2014 pay a visit to Chibok in Borno state, the village from where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by Islamist rebel group Boko Haram, senior government officials said.
It will be the President’s first visit to Chibok since the kidnappings.
President Jonathan said he will travel on to a regional security summit in Paris at which Boko Haram will be discussed.
President Jonathan asked France last week to arrange a Paris security summit with neighbors Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin, and officials from the U.S., Britain and the European Union to discuss a coordinated response.
