Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum yesterday ferried across Lake Alau, visiting 28 communities on the shores of the Lake, which were displaced by the Boko Haram insurgents.
Our correspondent gathered that the governor’s trip to the agrarian communities was to explore approaches to restore irrigation activities so as to create a meaningful livelihood for settlers.
”We are purposely here to look into ways we can bring back irrigation activities along the shores of this lake Alau.
“As we know, 28 communities were displaced and we will look into the possibility of resettling our brothers and sisters.
“The military is very committed; we will liaise with them to ensure sustained security of lives and property,” Zulum said.
The governor used a combat boat, provided by the Nigerian military, which has Naval, Army and Air force components involved in fighting Boko Haram in the state to explore the Lake Alau area.
In a related development, Governor Zulum was in Kawuri town of Konduga Local Government Area where he assessed construction work of 750 houses towards the resettlement of displaced residents of the village.
