The Abuja family of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign yesterday took to the Hilton Junction, Shehu Shagari Way, Maitama, sharing out fliers and stickers to motorists and passers-by.
The initiator of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, Hajia Hadiza Bala Usman, said it was part of their strategic decision to gain more awareness.
“We are handing out our stickers, chanting by the street corner by Unity Fountain to make people realize these girls have been gone for four months and not one of them has been rescued by the Nigerian military,” She said.
“This is very responsive, we have seen a lot of people ask us for more stickers. This we feel is a very interactive way of doing our advocacy. This is rush hour, people are going home from work, so it is a good time to be on the streets,” she added.
In addition to the Chibok girls, Hajia Usman expressed concern for people in the north-eastern part of the country who have been victims of repeated terrorist attacks.
