Zulum shares Tinibu’s 100 trucks of grains in Borno community
Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum commenced the distribution of about 100 trucks of food items donated to the state by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Ngala local government area.
The distribution took place on Monday at designated centres for residents of Gamboru, Ngala, and other communities, where food supplies were cut off in the last four months due to heavy rain and flooding.
The grains, which include maize, sorghum and millet, have been distributed to households prioritising the most vulnerable.
Speaking to journalists after flagging off the distribution, Zulum explained the choice of Ngala. He said, “This morning, we flagged off the distribution of 100 trucks of assorted grain to communities in Ngala local government.”
He added, “This town was completely cut off from the rest of the country for about four months due to heavy rainfall and flooding. The movement of food items to Ngala has been cut off. This informed our visit today to provide relief to cushion the hardships faced by the people.”
Zulum commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all relevant federal government agencies for supporting the state government in ensuring that those most in need received adequate supplies.
“All of the food items we shared today were donated to us by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The President has given us 100 trucks of assorted grains, including maize, millet and sorghum. In addition, the federal government has provided 100 trucks of rice for the victims of the Maiduguri flood disaster,” Zulum said.
The governor also stated, “Let me use this opportunity to commend the federal government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting our people in the time of their needs.”
Governor Zulum, however, explained that his administration is gradually discontinuing the distribution of food items and supporting residents through the establishment of irrigation activities in resettled communities.
He said, “The state government has put in place medium—and longer-term sustainable solutions that will ensure people cultivate their lands all year round. We are establishing many irrigation structures, particularly in Ngala local government.”
The governments of Abia and Imo States have announced the launching of a joint security taskforce and surveillance along the Aba-Owerri expressway, starting from Owerrinta in Abia State all the way to Owerri, Imo State.
The launch followed recent attacks by criminals on the expressway, including kidnapping, armed robbery and other criminal activities.
The formation of the joint security taskforce and surveillance was announced by Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Special Adviser to Governor Alex Otti on Media and Publicity.
His statement read in part: “Arising from a strategic emergency security meeting held today, 4th December, 2025, by the Governors of Abia and Imo Sates at the Imo State Government Owerri House, His Excellency Governor Alex Otti and His Excellency Senator Hope Uzodinma resolved to set up a joint security Taskforce that shall consist of Soldiers, Naval Personnel, Police Officers , DSS Personnel, and other Government Security Agencies.
“The joint security Taskforce shall, starting from tomorrow 5th December 2025, patrol the road 24 hours nonstop, while carrying out massive surveillance in the surrounding bushes using sophisticated drones and other modern security equipment.”
According to the statement, Governor Alex Otti commended the Governor of Imo State for arresting the criminals who carried out an attack on His advanced team and other passengers a few days ago.
“The two Governors, while assuring citizens plying the road on a daily basis and those returning home for Christmas of their safety and security, warn that there would be severe consequences for any criminal caught on the road going forward”, Ekeoma concluded.
