The president made said this known during meeting with the schoolgirls abducted and released by the terrorists from Dapchi in Yobe State.
In his words:
“While further efforts are being made to secure the release of every abducted citizen in Nigeria, Government is ever ready to accept the unconditional laying down of arms by members of the Boko Haram group, who show strong commitment in this regard.
“We are ready to rehabilitate and integrate such repentant members into the larger society.
“This country has suffered enough of hostility. Government is, therefore, appealing to all to embrace peace for the overall development of our people and the country.”

He also revealed that almost all the freed Dapchi schoolgirls had one skin infection or the other for not bathing for one month.
