Dr Okonjo- Iweala stated this on Tuesday, April 14, 2015, during a meeting with representatives of the Chibok Community in Abuja.
The minister, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Anasthesia Nwaobia, also said that making Chibok safe was a top priority of the government.

“Today is a day that marks the first anniversary of the abduction of our brave girls in Chibok; they were callously taken away from us and family with the aim of depriving them of having quality education,” Okonjo-Iweala said.
“Their absence will create a vacuum in space but they are in our minds,’’ she added.
The Chibok girls were abducted from the Government Girls Secondary School in the community on April 14, 2014.
