The Federal Government has approved the construction of 10,000 houses in Borno State.

This was made public in a tweet by Governor of the State, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum.

This gesture is part of FG’s intervention to rebuild the city after the insurgency recently ravaged the town.

Zulum tweeted: "I am so pleased and grateful to tell Nigerians that President has graciously and very boldly approved the construction of 10,000 houses in Borno State as part of FG’s intervention in our recovery efforts."

He was full of praise to President Major General Buhari (retd.) for the kind gesture.
