Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has commenced the distribution of Federal Government-donated food relief items to over 10,000 families in the Mafa Local Government Area.
The distribution, which took place on Tuesday at four centers in Mafa town, the local government headquarters, involved each of the 10,000 heads of households receiving a relief package that included one bag of maize grain.
Governor Zulum expressed his gratitude to the Federal Government for the support and highlighted that similar food items have also been distributed in Gwoza and Nganzai.
“This food item constitutes the last batch of those donated by the Federal Government to the state. You can remember that we shared similar food items in Gwoza and Nganzai a few months ago,” Zulum said.
Meanwhile, Zulum has also begun the distribution of N150m to 15,000 females in Mafa town.
In addition to the cash support, Zulum also distributed wrappers procured by the Borno State Government.
Each of the over 15,000 females will receive a package comprising N10,000 cash and one wrapper.
“Each female head of household will receive a wrapper and a sum of N10,000 through our Microfinance Bank,” the governor stated.
