Gov Zulum Coordinates Resettlement of 2,500 Displaced Households in Gwoza

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state in Kirawa, town, a border community in Gwoza Local Government Area personally supervised the resettlement of 2,500 displaced households into their homes which were rebuilt by the state government.
The homes were destroyed by Boko Haram insurgents during their occupation, forcing residents to become internally displaced in Pulka, another town in Gwoza, while others fled to take refuge in neighboring Cameroon which left the town deserted for over six years.
Prof Zulum later set up a committee with the task of rebuilding destroyed homes in Kirawa to ensure  safe and voluntary return in a dignified manner.

During the resettlement visit, he not only ensured they returned to rebuilt homes but also supervised the disbursement of N120million to the 2,500 families.
Each male head of households were allocated N100,000 while their wives (some of whom were part of benefiting households) were  given N20,000 each.
