Ndume Hails Zulum For Resettlement Of IDPs In Borno

Senator representing, Southern Borno and immediate past Majority Whip of the Senate , has hailed Borno State Government for its efforts in the ongoing Reconstruction Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RRR) project which led to the resettlement of thousands of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) back to their ancestral homes in 10 communities of Gwoza Local Government Area.
For over a decade, insurgency in the State and its environs led to exodus of the people of Gwoza including those in the Mandara Mountains from their homes. Gwoza was declared Boko Haram caliphate, until troops recaptured and liberated the town few years ago.
Senator Ndume noted that since the return of peace in the areas, Governor Babagana Zulum has not only resettled displaced people, but has also embarked on monthly distribution of food and non-food items as palliatives to the people.,
According to the Senator, resettled communities include Pulka, Limankara, Warabe, Ngoshe, Kirawa, Izge and Bitta. Others are Hambagtha, Modube and Yamtake villages, even as he said, the people of Ashgashiya, Wala and other communities would return to their ancestral homes soon.
His words “I want to specifically appreciate Borno state government under the leadership of Governor Babagana Zulum who injected huge resources that led to the resettlement of thousands of IDOs back to 10 liberated communities of Gwoza.
“These include not only Gwoza, but Pulka, Limankara, Warabe, Ngoshe, Kirawa, Izge and Bitta. Others are Hambagtha, Modube and Yamtake villages. I am happy to inform you that very soon, the people of Ashgashiya, Wala and other communities would return to their ancestral homes by Allah’s grace.”
