Zulum departed Maiduguri to Monguno by road Monday, passed the night, and following day, supervised distribution of cash and food items.

Thousands of bags of food grains, sugar and wrappers were distributed to 65,000 male heads of households and 35,000 female heads of households.

Each head of household received three bags of rice, Maize grain, and beans, while each the female beneficiaries were additionally given a wrapper and N5,000.

He approved site for Federal Polytechnic
aside supervising food and cash distribution to displaced households, Zulum assessed and approved a site for the location of Federal Polytechnic in Monguno, which the Federal Government recently approved, following which the Governor paid visit to the Minister of education in January, this year, with a promise to provide land and any support required from Borno state government.

Nice gestures. The north need good leaders

Good gesture but tp what end?.. what is the longevity of this?. N325m would set up a Nigerian renowned factory in that community that would employ and feed those families for life directly and indirectly.. bags of grains or maize would always finish and they would return back to square one..

The Govt should start an initiative.."One factory per village", it would be indigenous, most specifically and restricted on the major raw material/produce of that village/community for cost effectiveness.. that is the only way to get the manufacturing mantra kick started. Alongside rapid development of rural areas..

TBadd:
No, no, no, no, no, this ain't right...
Kind gesture, I agree.

Asides the fact that both amount and household figure are highly exaggerated,

If we keep giving fish, and never thought how to fish, we'll always be one step forward and three steps backward... That's our problem in Nigeria, it's not as if this displaced people were well to do or middle class citizens in the first place, they've always been poor, no offense...

Such brainless and propagandrous leaders we have, what a shame.
