"I must commend the tireless efforts and proactive leadership of His Excellency, Babagana Zulum, the Governor of Borno State in the face of this disaster. His Excellency’s swift response in mobilizing resources and ensuring the safety and well-being of the affected communities which is truly commendable. I am confident that under His Excellency’s capable leadership, Borno State will emerge stronger from this tragedy and the resilience of its people will once again shine through.
