The Yobe Government on Thursday donated N100 million to assist victims of Boko Haram attack at the Federal Government College in Buni-Yadi.

It also deployed security operatives and vigilante groups to search for missing students.

The Chairman of the Committee set up by the State Government to assist the victims and Commissioner for Justice, Ahmed Goniri, said this during his visit to the college.

Goniri said his committee would liaise with the school's authority to ascertain the number of those missing and also meet with their parents.

He said that the committee would assess the extent of damage and advise government on areas of assistance.

The chairman solicited the support and co-operation of traditional rulers and citizens to provide useful information to security agencies with the hope to trace the missing students.
