Governor of Borno state, Prof Babagana Umara Zulum, has commissioned 500 resettlement houses for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Logumani community, Ngala local government area located in the central part of the State.
In addition to the 500 units of two-bedroom semi-detached low-cost houses, Zulum also built a primary school, health centre, police station and borehole for water provision for the community.
Other items they received were one bull and one cow, a bag of rice and maize grain, a water pump, clothing materials, seedlings, and insecticide to boost irrigation farming. Meanwhile, female beneficiaries that are housewives each received N20,000 in cash and a wrapper.
The houses were distributed to over 500 families which the Governor said was part of Borno State Government’s efforts to provide shelter for people displaced by the Boko Haram conflict.
The Governor in his address, gave assurance that his administration would not relent in providing basic services to the people of the state.
According to him, “I want to commend our partners, Germany, the UK, the UNDP and others for donating to the stabilization facility that makes this possible. I want to assure you that the government of Borno State will not relent in providing necessities to its people.”
