The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has announced a substantial allocation of N20 billion for the urgent reconstruction of infrastructure damaged by recent floods.
This decisive action aims to address the significant impact of the flooding on communities across the state, which has left many in need of immediate assistance.
In a statement, Governor Zulum emphasized the importance of restoring essential services and facilities to ensure the safety and well-being of residents.
“Our priority is to rebuild what has been lost and to ensure that our communities can recover and thrive again,” he said.
The funding will be directed towards repairing roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure, as well as providing support to affected households.
The governor’s announcement comes amid ongoing efforts to assess the full extent of the damage caused by the floods, which have disrupted daily life and economic activities in several regions of Borno State.
Local leaders and residents have welcomed the governor’s swift response, expressing hope that the reconstruction efforts will not only restore infrastructure but also foster resilience against future flooding.
As the state embarks on this crucial rebuilding process, Governor Zulum’s commitment reflects a broader effort to enhance disaster preparedness and improve the quality of life for Borno’s residents.
Further updates on the implementation of the reconstruction plans are expected in the coming weeks.
