We continue to work closely with the Nigerian authorities and our other partners in
the search for the abducted Chibok girls. On 3 September, my Hon Friend, the Member
for Southend and Rochford East (James Duddridge MP), the Minister for Africa, led
the UK delegation to the Abuja ministerial meeting on security in Nigeria. At this
meeting, he emphasised the importance of regional coordination between Nigeria and
its neighbours in defeating Boko Haram and locating the girls. The Prime Minister
has stressed to President Jonathan our continued commitment to helping the Nigerian
Government find the girls. It is not yet clear what impact the recently announced
ceasefire between the Nigerian security forces and Boko Haram might have on the missing
Chibok girls. We are monitoring events closely.
