Since Prof Babagana Umara Zulum became the executive Governor of Borno State, he has shown a remarkable performance, despite the many challenges the state faces. One of the biggest issues in Borno State has been the long-standing insecurity that has led to the destruction of lives and properties for over a decade. Governor Zulum has made it a priority to address this issue and bring about positive change in the state.
One of the key accomplishments of Governor Zulum's administration has been the efforts to rebuild and repair properties that were destroyed during the years of insecurity. The governor has demonstrated a commitment to the people of Borno State by focusing on the reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure that were damaged or destroyed. This has not only improved the physical landscape of the state but has also provided a sense of hope and renewal to the residents who have been affected by the violence.
In addition to the reconstruction efforts, Governor Zulum has also been successful in implementing people-oriented projects throughout the state. These projects are designed to improve the quality of life for the people of Borno State by providing access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and clean water. By focusing on the needs of the people, Governor Zulum has been able to make a positive impact on the lives of residents in the state.
Another important aspect of Governor Zulum's administration is the distribution of palliatives to both internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities. The governor has recognized the hardship faced by those who have been displaced from their homes and has taken steps to provide assistance to them. By providing food, shelter, and other necessities to those in need, Governor Zulum has shown compassion and empathy for the vulnerable populations in the state.
Despite Governor Zulum's efforts to bring about positive change in Borno State, there are still those who seek to undermine his success. There have been instances of bombings and other acts of violence that have been attributed to individuals who are intent on tarnishing the governor's reputation. These acts of destruction are a hindrance to the progress that Governor Zulum has made and serve to destabilize the state further.
1st AUGUST PROTEST
The infiltration of disruptive forces has grievously impacted the hitherto steadfast resolve of the citizens of Borno during the recent protest on August 1st. The people of Borno have long exemplified a spirit of peace and inclusivity, traits that are exploited by insidious actors who perpetrate wanton acts of violence. It is imperative to recognize that the fragility of our unity is exposed whenever chaos is sown.
Furthermore, the government of Prof Babagana Umara Zulum should urgently address the concerning trend of underage children being transported in trailers and abandoned in the Bulumkuttu area. These vulnerable minors are left to fend for themselves, growing up without familial guidance and falling prey to delinquency. This unchecked phenomenon not only jeopardizes the fabric of our society but also poses a threat to our cultural heritage and linguistic diversity.
It is evident that decisive action is warranted to safeguard the future of Borno and preserve its identity from the encroachment of external forces. It is incumbent upon us to stem the tide of disarray and uphold the values that define us as a community.
Finally, it is essential for all stakeholders in Borno State to come together and support Governor Zulum in his efforts to bring peace and development to the state. The residents of Borno State deserve to live in a safe and secure environment where they can prosper and thrive. By working together and embracing peace, it is possible to move Borno State to greater heights and create a brighter future for all who call the state home.
