Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has committed to the rapid reconstruction of critical public infrastructure in the war-ravaged Malam Fatori, the headquarters of Abadam Local Government Area. The governor made the pledge on Monday during a working visit to the border community, aimed at supporting residents returning to communities liberated from insurgency. Accompanied by top government officials and lawmakers, including Senate Chief Whip, Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno, Zulum inspected extensive damage to schools, government buildings, and housing facilities.
