Borno State Governor, Umara Zulum, has called on residents to observe a one-day voluntary fast on February 19, 2024, addressing the economic challenges and security issues prevalent in the state.
In a state-wide broadcast on Friday, Governor Zulum expressed deep concern over the recent hardships faced by citizens, particularly the soaring costs of essential goods. He appealed to the Shehu of Borno, the Chief Imam, Imams, and the Christian community to join in this collective effort to seek solutions through faith.
Assuring the public that the government is taking decisive steps, Zulum outlined plans to revive agriculture in the state. These initiatives include investing in modern farming techniques, supporting local farmers, and incentivizing agricultural innovation. The aim is to increase food production and reduce dependence on food palliatives.
Governor Zulum acknowledged the rising costs of essential commodities and engaged stakeholders in the business to address the issue. He strongly condemned the planting of mines on major roads by miscreants, describing these acts as threats to citizens’ safety and hindrances to the movement of goods and services crucial for development.
“We are working tirelessly with security forces to rid our roads of these deadly devices,” Governor Zulum affirmed, expressing determination to identify and deal with those behind these acts of sabotage. He suggested the existence of forces attempting to undermine the state’s progress but assured the public that measures are in place to combat such actions.
