The Nigerian President, in a meeting with parents of the girls kidnapped by Boko-Haram, pledged to do everything possible within his government to secure their release.
Goodluck Jonathan met the parents of the kidnapped girls for the first time on Tuesday, reports the BBC.
"Anyone who gives you the impression that we are aloof and that we are not doing what we are supposed to do to get the girls out is not being truthful. Our commitment is not just to get the girls out, it is also to rout Boko Haram completely from Nigeria," said Jonathan.
Boko Haram has offered to free the girls in exchange for the release of its fighters and relatives held by Nigerian security forces.
