Zulum Shares N221.7m, Food Items, Others To 67,454 Households In Ngala

Prof. Babagana Zulum, the governor of Borno State, oversaw the delivery of N221,760,000 in cash, food, and wrappers to approximately 67,454 Ngala Local Government Area citizens who are considered vulnerable.

Last weekend, Zulum travelled to Ngala, where he spent two nights organising projects for the local government area’s development and humanitarian relief.

The distribution was held at five locations in Gamboru, Wulgo, and Ngala, three significant towns that are home to thousands of internally displaced people who left two local government districts because of Boko Haram insurgency activity.

The exercise started on Sunday with 44,352 women beneficiaries each receiving N5,000 in cash and a wrapper, while 23,102 male heads of households each got one bag of rice and one bag of maize grain on Monday.

Mallam Isa Gusau, the governor’s spokesman, stated in a statement released on Monday: “We distributed non-food items to about 44,352 women in Ngala Local Government Area yesterday (Sunday).” They were each given N5,000 and a wrapper. Monday morning, we were distraught.

The governor expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting the Borno State Government with a donation of about 10,000 bags of rice through the Nigerian Customs Service.
