After lambasting the Nigerian military on its failure to locate the Chibok girls in an "ordinary forest" (exact term she used) on CNN's Amanpour, the NAF invite to join in a short tour of the Sambisa forest to observe the search by the military for the missing schoolgirls.
Needless to say she realised the enormous complexity of military operations in a land area the size of Scotland. Oby Ezekwesili via her Twitter account wrote

The dreaded Sambisa is massive. 60,000 square kilometres. 18 times the size of Lagos state !!

All of Lagos is 3,345 square kilometres. We are doing fine. We returned to Yola after a very full day on a Day Search of Sambisa.
