Prof. Babagana Zulum, the governor of Borno state spent the night Friday at Internally Displaced Persons Camp where he distributed non-food items to 1675 families.

Zulum paid an unscheduled visit to NYSC IDP Camp at exactly 22:15 hours (10:15pm) in Maiduguri on Thursday and distributed blankets to the IDPs in order to protect them from harmattan.

He said the visit was informed by his desire to have an interactive session with the IDPs in order to get first hand information on their situation.

He distributed blankets, mats and other clothing materials to the IDPs, assuring them of his readiness to resettle them back to their communities and to give them all necessary livelihood support to make them self-reliant.

He also assured them of the Federal government’s commitment to end Boko Haram war while calling on all and sundry to report any suspicious activities, movement or persons to the security agencies. (The Cable)
