In a compassionate move, Borno State’s Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, delegated to his Deputy, Hon. Umar Usman Kadafur, to commence the distribution of palliatives to alleviate the hardships felt by the fuel subsidy removal. The initiative was launched in Biu Local Government, Southern Borno, encompassing 11 wards and 270 units. CONTINUE READING
It’s crucial to note that following the fuel subsidy’s discontinuation and the resulting economic challenges, Zulum’s administration has been proactive in mitigating these immediate consequences. Multiple communities across the state have already benefited from similar initiatives.
The Deputy Governor elaborated on the strategy for the distribution, ensuring every household in the 11 wards and 270 units of Biu would be recipients. He urged for a peaceful and orderly process. Kadafur also assured that the entire state’s local governments would receive these palliatives in line with federal directives to counteract the subsidy removal’s impact.
A significant move in the state’s rehabilitation process was the inauguration of 300 housing units by the Borno State Government. This initiative aims at resettling those displaced due to over a decade-long insurgent activities. The Deputy Governor expressed that numerous IDPs from Gur, Mandara Girau, and Buratai would benefit, and further construction is on the horizon. CONTINUE READING
Engineer Ibrahim Idriss, the Commissioner of the Ministry of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (RRR), highlighted that the 300 semi-detached houses, consisting of two rooms each, will accommodate two households per unit.
The Caretaker Chairman of Biu Council area, Alhaji Sule Ali Yimi, praised Prof. Zulum’s leadership and expressed optimism for more developmental projects in Biu. He urged the populace to sustain their support for Governor Babagana Umara Zulum’s administration to reap more democratic dividends.
The Emir of Biu, His Royal Highness, Mai Mustapha Umar Mustapha II, voiced his gratitude towards the efforts of the governor and his deputy. He acknowledged the substantial developmental progress in the Emirate Council regions.
Concluding the eventful day, the Deputy Governor and his delegation paid their respects at the Emir’s palace, seeking royal blessings.
Bushradiogist also gathered that Amidst the hardships arising from the fuel subsidy removal, the seating Gov Of Borno who won re-election by a land slide of 89% has again taken a commendable step by earmarking a whopping ₦308 million for scholarship programs. What’s truly noteworthy is the inclusiveness of this initiative: it’s not restricted to just Unimaid & BOSU students. Any Borno student who has applied stands to benefit from this generous scholarship grant. This is a testament to the administration’s dedication to education and supporting its youth during trying times.
