Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has paid a visit to displaced persons from Ngoshe, currently sheltering in Pulka, to assure them of enhanced security measures and humanitarian support.
Addressing the victims at the Pulka Central Primary School, Zulum said the visit was aimed at reinforcing government support and boosting public confidence. "The major reason why we are here is first and foremost to once again sympathize with them and to convey our deepest sympathy, and to assure them that the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Borno State Government will do everything possible to strengthen the security of the entire Gwoza community," he said.
Zulum reassured residents of Gwoza and surrounding communities of strengthened security measures and sustained humanitarian support, stressing that all those in captivity will be rescued. "The government will rebuild destroyed infrastructure and ensure a safe, dignified return of any person willing to return to the community," he added.
The governor urged residents to collaborate with security agencies to enhance resilience and prevent future attacks. He disclosed that food and non-food items would be distributed to displaced households and humanitarian assistance would be extended to the Pulka community.
"We shall provide food and non-food items to heads of households and married women," Zulum said. He also emphasized that consultations would be held with military commanders and local security outfits to strengthen operations in the area.
Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, Senator representing Borno South, accompanied Zulum on the visit, along with other government officials and stakeholders.
