The BBOG has resorted to embarking on a daily protest at the presidential villa to remind President Muhammadu Buhari about the plight of the remaining Chibok girls in Boko Haram custody.

The BringBackOurGirls coalition has announced that it will resume its daily protest march to the Presidential Villa, Abuja from Tuesday next week.
The group said that nothing had been heard from the Federal Government since 82 of the Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram were released in May, 2017.
The BBOG spokesman, Sesugh Akume, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, said it was now over 1,305 days since the abduction of the 113 girls that were still in custody of the insurgency group.
According to him, none of the commitments made by the government had been fulfilled.
He recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had recently in his Independence Day broadcast on October 1 promised to ensure the release of the remaining girls, but this pledge is yet to come into fruition.
The group stated that it had on several occasions put on hold its march expecting to see the outcome of the commitments made by the government.
“Our movement therefore resumes daily marches to the State House, in order to refocus attention on the plight of our #ChibokGirls and all the incidences of abductions, killings, and general insecurity as well as the abysmally poor handling of the situations; to demand their immediate return,” the statement said.
