“I have ordered Project managers for the completion of resettlement houses, for Lomani they have 2 months dateline while in Gajibo have 3 months to complete.
The governor also added that, “we also ordered for the completion of other ongoing projects especially public infrastructure and we will look into how we will create employment and economic opportunities for the 2 communities.
“We will ensure to utilise the abandoned ground water in these communities by providing water pumps for irrigation activities.”
Governor Zulum while in Dikwa paid a courtesy visit to Shehu of Dikwa and called on the Emirate to support the state government and ensure indigenes and other community members embrace irrigation farming as government is willing to provide agricultural tools to harness the potentials of the community.
