Hon. Karta Maina Ma’aji Lawan, a member of the Borno State House of Assembly representing Kukawa Constituency, has commended the Governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum, for providing two gun trucks to the Nigerian military.
The donation was made the the Joint Task Force Operation Hadin Kai troops formation in Kukawa Local Government Area to support the ongoing counterinsurgency operations.
Kukawa Local Government Area, located in northeastan Borno, has long served as a major economic hub linking Nigeria with neighbouring countries, facilitating cross-border trade and commercial activities among marketers in the region.
Receiving the gun trucks on behalf of the community, Hon. Lawan expressed appreciation to Governor Zulum for his continued efforts to strengthen security in the area.
He noted that the two gun trucks would significantly enhance the ongoing military clearance operations in Kukawa and surrounding communities.
According to the lawmaker, the governor’s intervention demonstrates his administration’s commitment to restoring stability and protecting lives and property in the region.
Hon. Lawan also recalled that last year Governor Zulum donated two additional patrol vehicles to the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) operating in Kukawa Local Government Area to support local security patrols.
The vehicles, which were facilitated and delivered by the lawmaker, were handed over to the CJTF’s overall commander, Shehu, to strengthen security surveillance and response within the axis.
He said the continued support from the state government has greatly assisted security forces and local volunteers in their efforts to maintain peace and ensure safe movement of people and goods across the border communities.
Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
