The Borno State Government, through a public notice from the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Prof. Usman Tar, has prohibited street begging and idle loitering within Maiduguri city and its surroundings.
Tar emphasized that these activities are not in line with the cultural norms of the Borno people.
“In Borno State, street begging and aimless loitering are not in our character. We are dignified people.
“This is to inform members of the public that the Borno State Government has placed a strict ban on all street begging, loitering and gallivanting within and around Maiduguri Metropolis and Jere LGAs,” he said.
