Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has commissioned a 500-unit resettlement housing estate in Konduga Local Government Area in the central part of the state.
The resettlement houses include public facilities such as schools, a primary healthcare center, water facilities, and other basic amenities.
During an event held on Sunday in Konduga town, Zulum noted that the resettlement marked the beginning of the closure of Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in Konduga LGA. About 500 families benefited from the initiative.
A statement issued by the Governor’s Senior Special Assistant on New Media, Abdurrahman Bundi, emphasized that in addition to the houses, each family also received food items, blankets, mats, mattresses, rubber buckets, and wrappers.
“Similarly, each head of the household received N50,000, while the housewives received N20,000 as part of the resettlement package to support them in rebuilding their lives.
“The resettled individuals were from the ten communities displaced by Boko Haram insurgents: Towuri, Modu Amsamiri, Goniri, Mairamiri, Lawanti Grema Gogobe, Bula Bowuri, Zarmari, Amusari, Bula Bakaraye, and Furi,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, Governor Zulum has directed the Ministry for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement to complete the construction of 500 houses in Dalwa town within six months.
He also ordered the construction of another 500 houses in Aulari town, also located in Konduga Local Government Area.
Zulum instructed the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation to immediately assess the College of Business and Administration in Konduga and determine the extent of the destruction caused by Boko Haram insurgents.
