“The committees are to continue with rehabilitation and reconstruction work in Marte and Kirawa/Ngoshe, to undertake palliative repairs of Marte and Ngoshe/Kirawa roads in collaboration with the men of the Nigerian Army, to put in place all requirements that will ensure safety of lives and properties of returnees, to facilitate the establishment of civil authorities on ground, to identify IDPs willing to return home, and to address any other matter that is incidental to the smooth return and safety of lives and properties of the returnees.” Zulum said at the Government House, venue of the inauguration.

The Governor explained that Borno’s resettlement drive is aimed at helping citizens pick up the pieces of their lives and move on, after many years of displacement.

The Governor assured that Government will help the returnees to engage in agricultural and other economic activities that will make them self-reliant and be meaningful members of the State.

Zulum also decried the high level of poverty in Borno, particularly within the IDPs, which he said the insurgents took advantage of, to recruit a lot of able bodied youths in the State.

Governor Zulum said during the inauguration that he was very mindful of the security situation in the State as such he tasked the committees to carry out their duties without haste.

“We should not be in haste. We should not force anyone to return. There is an increasing demand from the IDPs to return home, don’t force anyone” the Governor said.

Responding on behalf of both committees, Engr. Gubio, the RRR Commissioner, assured they would all put in their best in discharging the assignment.

Zulum praises Baga committee

Meanwhile, Governor Zulum has commended Baga committee for setting a good precedent. He also commended the Nigerian Military for supporting the resettlement drive.

The Governor directed the committee to liase with the Nigerian military to see the possibilities of returning people to Mairari and Kareto.
