Borno State governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, has lauded the Nigerian military and other security agencies over their recent successes recorded
The governor made this known while chairing an expanded security council meeting held on Saturday at the Government House, Maiduguri.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, the Borno State Commissioner for Information, Home Affairs and Culture, Hon. Babakura Abba Jato, said the expanded security council meeting had in attendance members of the State Executive Council, traditional rulers under the leadership of the Shehu of Borno and all Service Chiefs in the state.
He said Zulum called on them to increase their efforts so that the whole state will be free and normalcy will return. “Zulum most particularly expressed his gratitude for the clearing exercise in the shores of the Lake Chad and the Sambisa general area, noting that although the factional leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, was killed, a new group is taking over Shekau’s position.
“He said the establishment of civil authorities is one of the highest priorities of government. The issue was reiterated while explaining that, if civil authorities are not established in reclaimed territories, those areas will be taken over by the insurgents.
