We’ll continue military partnership to sustain peace – Zulum

Governor  Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno has  assured that the state is willing and faithful to the ongoing partnership with the Nigerian Army to effectively tackle insurgency in the state.

Governor Zulum stated this, Sunday while receiving the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai and his team at the Government House Maiduguri on a Sallah homage.

The governor expressed appreciation to the Nigerian Army, promising to support them with all the required logistics for them to succeed.

He said the fight against insurgency was everybody’s business and for the Nigerian Army to succeed everybody must support the fight and provide useful information and suggestions that will effectively tackle the menace.
