Borno shares seeds, chemicals to resettled IDPs

The farmers who were resettled last year have lived in different communities after being displaced by insurgents.

Government spokesman, Malam Isa Gusau, said in a statement that Governor Babagana Zulum had during a visit to the town directed the profiling of 3,000 families to be provided with inputs that would include improved seeds, fertiliser, water pumps and chemicals to safely return to farms that would be secured by the military.
