The Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum,has made provisions for 90,000 internally displaced household at the sum of 275 million naira.
Zulum who supervised the disbursement and distribution of items to the abode of displaced people of the state expressed desire to do more.
Zulum, after interacting with the IDPs and returning refugees in Monguno on Friday, supervised the distribution of wrapper, sugar, and N5,000 each to 55,000 women, making a total of N275 million.
The Borno governor has sustained this tradition for three years as part of multi-faced efforts to cushion the effects and wreckage caused by Boko Haram attacks.
Through the intervention, the government also supports the people with livelihoods as they gradually transit into farming, micro, small, and medium scale businesses in order to eventually cater to themselves.
According to a statement released on Saturday by Zulum’s spokesman, Mallam Isa Gusau, the cash support has also been an effective tool in fighting Boko Haram’s ability to recruit spies from extremely poor and vulnerable communities.

The figure comprised of over 184,000 and over 600,000 women and children.
