Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of BORNO state, has revealed that lack of adequate funds have largely been responsible for the snail speed in the reconstruction of houses, destroyed by the boko haram insurgents in the state.
The governor made the remarks at the Borno State House of Assembly, via executive communication to the legislature, seeking for mandate to permit the executive arm of government to take a loan of N5 billion from the federal government to fund the reconstruction of houses destroyed by the insurgents at various communities across the state.
He noted that, the loan will enable the state government construct affordable houses in various communities destroyed by the boko haram insurgents in Borno state.
Reading the letter on the floor of the House, the Speaker, Hon. Abdulkarim Lawan, told the lawmakers that, the state government has constructed houses in Auno, Mainok and Benisheikh in its effort to resettle Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Kaga, Bama, Konduga, Magumeri and further explained that the project was delayed due to lack of sufficient funds as contained in the executive communication to the house.
