Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has inaugurated a committee on repatriation of Borno citizens living in Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
During the event at the Government House in Maiduguri, Zulum said the committee would also manage ‘repentant’ insurgents, particularly how they will leave their enclave, their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
He said proper handling of the task assigned to the committee which has the Deputy Governor, Umar Kadafur, as chairman, would lead to increased surrender of remnants of the insurgents and bring peace to Borno State for the needed development.
