500 Displaced Borno Households To Be Resettled Before Ramadan – Zulum

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno, has said 500 displaced households from Malam-Fatori, Abadam LGA of the state, will be resettled before Ramadan.

Zulum made the pledge during a visit to the area on Sunday.

Malam-Fatori had been abandoned by most of its residents since the early stages of the Boko Haram terrorism in 2014.

During the visit, the governor inspected 1,000 temporary shelters which the households will occupy before permanent houses are fully reconstructed.
