Zulum Offers ₦50,000 to Soldiers in Boko Haram-Affected Areas

On November 13, Governor Babagana Zulum announced a ₦50,000 financial incentive for soldiers deployed to Koshebe and Maiwa during his visit to the 24 Task Force Brigade headquarters in Dikwa Local Government Area. This gesture aims to reinforce security in these areas, which experienced deadly assaults by Boko Haram that resulted in the deaths of 100 farm laborers in November 2020.

Zulum highlighted the importance of securing the Maiduguri–Mafa–Dikwa–Ngala highway, a crucial economic corridor that facilitates trade, transportation, and cross-border activities. He stated that ensuring safety along this route is essential for residents to travel without fear and to rebuild their livelihoods.

During his address to the troops, Zulum committed to providing continuous operational logistics and enhanced welfare support.
