Addressing cabinet members and top government officials at the State Executive Council meeting, Governor Zulum declared that 2026 would be a year of consolidation and also disclosed plans to strengthen the social protection system, stressing that social security remains central to his administration’s rebuilding agenda.


Beyond security, the governor said the state government would intensify efforts toward the resettlement of internally displaced persons, with a focus on medium- and long-term durable solutions to support sustainable recovery.
