According to RT, there is no timetable regarding the girls’ release, however, and Nigerian government spokesperson Doyin Okupe said they will not all be freed at the same time.\
"A batch of them will be released shortly, and this will be followed by further actions from Boko Haram," he told CNN. "It is a process...It is not a question of hours and days."
The agreement was reached after three days of negotiations between Nigerian officials and Boko Haram, Reuters reported. The ceasefire pact was apparently finalized after the government made concessions to the militants, though it is currently unclear what those exactly included.
Okupe told CNN that the administration "is looking beyond the girls. We want to end the insurgency in this country...On the war front, we can say there is peace now."
Experts have, however, been cautious about statements made by the Nigerian government, as in the past various officials have made conflicting announcements on the same issues.
