Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum has approved the construction of a major water works to address problems of potable drinking water in Bama local government area of the state.
Bama was overrun by Boko Haram militants in 2014 at the peak of their annexation of parts of the country before it was liberated by the Nigerian military in March, 2015.
Zulum announced the approval on Thursday when he paid homage to the Shehu of Bama, Dr Umar Elkanemi, at his palace in Bama town.
Zulum’s administration constructed nine mega water projects across the state, including those in Ngarannam, Moramti, Pulka, Chibok, Azare, Madinatu, and Shokwari in Jere, Gowza, Hawul, Chibok, Konduga, and Maiduguri metropolis.
In addition to the water projects, Zulum announced a plan to rehabilitate Bama township road networks to ease transport and facilitate movement.
Zulum said: “Bama is one of the communities worst hit by Boko Haram insurgency; the destructions were unimaginable. However, we have made significant progress in our rebuilding efforts in Banki, Darajamal, Mayenti and a host of other settlements.”
The governor also ordered that a high Islamic college be established in Bama to streamline formal education with non-formal education and provide certification for Almajiri education.
Before his visit to the Shehu of Bama, Zulum also visited Abbaram town, a village located east of Kur Mohammed military barracks to assess the destruction caused by Boko Haram militants.
The visit was to facilitate the resettlement of people displaced for over one decade from their communities due to the insurgency.
The governor was accompanied by the senator representing Borno Central, Kaka Shehu Lawan, and members of the House of Representatives, Bukar Talba and Abdulkadir Rahis.

By: Zagazola Makama
On January 2, 2025, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) under the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) launched a precision airstrike targeting a suspected terrorist logistics hub in Wulade, nestled in the Mandara Mountains.
The operation, which struck an area believed to serve as a marketplace for exchanging logistics among terrorists, resulted in the suyanisation of several insurgents and the destruction of their vehicles.
Intelligence told Zagazola Makama that the airstrike followed credible intelligence indicating that the location was being used for strategic meetings and the coordination of terrorist activities.
“The strike was executed with pinpoint accuracy, taking out a significant number of terrorists and disrupting their logistics network,” the source stated.
Wulade, situated within the rugged terrain of the Mandara Mountains, has long been a challenging area for counter insurgency operations due to its difficult topography. However, advancements in aerial surveillance and precision targeting have bolstered the military’s capacity to identify and neutralize threats in such areas.
