While commending the military for their sacrificial service and resilience in countering terrorism and insurgency,

we ask that they are empowered for more proactive preventive intervention.

I call on our governments both at the federal and state levels to jointly do everything possible to ensure that these girls are rescued

and reunited with their families as quickly as possible.

We cannot accept any blames and delays in the rescue of these girls like the case of the Chibok Girls that are yet to be fully rescued.

The perpetrators must be brought to book .

I call on the interntnl community and all well spirited non-state organiztns 2 support our govt towards rescuing ths girls frm thr abductors

I also call on traditional and religious leaders to provide the needed support to all actors towards the rescuing of the girls.

No one should be left out in this effort.

The media is also a key actor in this effort, as we expect them to amplify calls and put more pressure on the government

towards the rescue of our children without compromise and a complete stop to the murderous acts of the Fulani herdsmen.

As a church we shall remain committed to praying for Nigeria and our governments

in their efforts to end terrorism and other violent conflicts in the country.

May I call on all Nigerians irrespective of their religions to stand together in condemning all acts of terrorism.

I conclude with prayers for the families of those recently murdered in Gwamba - Borrong

and the 110 abducted Dapchi girls for Gods special comfort and strength in this trying time. .

Thank you
