Borno state Governor, Kashim Shettima has Wednesday visited
Konduga in preparation for the return of IDPs to the area which was
under military occupation for almost two years following liberation from Boko Haram terrorists.
The governor who
was in Konduga to inspect some ongoing reconstruction and rehabilitation
work in some public infrastructure and private houses instructed the
Ministries of RRR to fast-track their work to enable the speedy return
of the IDPs.
Areas visited by the governor includes schools, irrigation facilities, hospitals and clinics.
Earlier on, the Borno state Government announced on Tuesday that it
planned to immediately relocate Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from
Konduga, Mafa and Dikwa local government areas taking refuge in
Maiduguri back home.
Babagana Umara, the Commissioner for
Reconstruction and Rehabilitation, stated this while meeting with Victor
Ezugwu, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division of the Nigerian
Army in Maiduguri.
Mr. Umara said the action followed the
directives of Gov. Kashim Shettima after the attainment of peace in the
areas which were hitherto under the control of the Boko Haram
terrorists.
