President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said his administration is ready to continue talks with the Boko Haram sect for the release of more Chibok girls.

Buhari said this while hosting the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Peter Maurer, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“Our administration is prepared to continue talks with the Boko Haram insurgent group, as long as they agree to involve international agencies like ICRC. We’ve seen the result of recent talks, 21 of the Chibok girls are back,” the President said.

The President said the country’s problem right now is the population of the IDPs in the north.

“The IDPs are made up of over 60% women and children. About 60% of the children don’t know their parents, or where they come from. It is weighing heavily on government,” Buhari said.
