The President who received the boys in company with the Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, and some top Federal and state government officials, addressed them in Hausa language.
He thanked all those involved in the release of the students, especially the Federal and State governments, as well as the military.
In his remarks, Governor Masari highlighted the efforts made which led to the release of the schoolboys, saying security should be the responsibility of all and not just of the government.
President Buhari met with the boys a day after they were released by their captors who abducted them from the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara.
Recall that hundreds of the abducted students were released, and kept safe in Tsafe, a local government area in Zamfara State On Thursday evening before they were brought back to Katsina State.

Boko Haram terrorist group, which has carried out a series of attacks in the North East for more than a decade had claimed responsibility for the abduction.
Following the release of the students, the President’s aide insisted that the group has no connection with the abduction of the schoolboys.
