Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, has expressed excitement after the federal government responded to his plea to push back attacks by Boko Haram.

Zulum returned to Marte yesterday, after spending a night in the community last Saturday.
The visit was part of the ongoing efforts to restore peace, rebuild trust and foster sustainable development in the Lake Chad region, infested by of the Boko Haram terrorist group.

Zulum has been coordinating security logistics and building resilience among residents affected by the recent surge in Boko Haram attacks.
According to a statement by the governor’s press team, Zulum has since last Saturday visited nine communities of Marte, Kala-Balge, Wulgo, Ngala, Lugumani, Gajibo, Koibe, Dikwa and Ajiri.

The governor was said to have during the visit held closed door meeting with military commanders aimed at receiving proper briefings on modalities for restoring peace in Marte and the surrounding communities.

On his return to Marte, he said, “I am here to monitor the efficacy of our ‘re-resettlement’ of the residents we conducted a few days ago.

“I am very happy to note that the community is fully back, and soldiers are on ground. Normal economic activities have resumed in Marte. I am very happy, and insha Allah, normalcy will be restored soon.”

The governor was accompanied by member representing Marte, Monguno and Nganzai constituencies at the House of Representatives, Bukar Talba; Commissioner for Local Government and Emirate Affairs, Sugun Mai Mele; Commissioner for Agriculture, Bawu Musami; Permanent Secretary of Government House, and Barr. Mustapha Ali Busuguma, among many senior officials.

Commending the federal government and the military for responding to his call for the protection of Marte from falling to the insurgents, Zulum said,

“The federal government and the Nigerian Armed Forces have responded positively to our request to enhance security in the affected communities. We have seen many troops deployed and many pieces of equipment deployed.

“I want to commend the Nigerian Armed Forces for the cooperation they have been giving us; without their , we couldn’t have done much. I want, once again, to commend all stakeholders that have contributed to our search for peace and the restoration of normalcy.”

you are happy yet they keep coming to kill innocent citizens

The vice own State such insecurity can be this alarming. The governor is an APC governor. But we have governors defeating saying that their State will develop better. Who is fooling who. Talking about one stupid leadership style of Tinubu that they love so much, style of looting and freedom from corruption I guess.

what shall Nigeria overcome?

Borno El Kanem warriors that waded off Usman Dan Fodio are no more warriors against invaders but against their own.
Can there ever be peace in Borno?
Or will it be another Middle East in Nigeria?
It's only sincerity and resolve of Borno people and the government that can restore peace in Borno.

Good

Probably you guys have talked to each other because it doesn't make sense to be waiting for the presidency all the time to intervene

I guess positive news is the hungry and suffering the average Nigerian is facing daily and once you complain you’re seen as enemy of positive news
