Tarmuwa village located about 5 kilometres from Banki town was destroyed by Boko Haram insurgents.
The rehabilitation project is part of broader efforts by Borno State Government in rebuilding communities affected by insurgency to create enabling environment for sustainable development.
Speaking while assessing the level of destructions at the comprehensive health centre, Zulum noted that the project when completed will address the increasing healthcare needs of the people in Banki town.
… Inspects market, school projects
Meanwhile, Governor Zulum also inspected 2 projects that are being executed by Borno State Government in Banki township.
The projects include Banki Central Market and a mega secondary school.
The central market project comprises the construction of over 440 market stalls and about 128 shops.
The governor assured that the ongoing work will be completed and the market reopened for commercial activities to resume soon.
At Banki Mega School, Zulum expressed satisfaction with the quality and level of work done.
The school has 20 classrooms and staff quarters for teachers.
… Orders completion of houses for teachers
Zulum also ordered the completion of an abandoned housing project which was started by the administration of the Late Alhaji Mala Kachalla.
The project was meant for use by the defunct local government which was later scrapped for lack of proper legal backing.
The governor directed the houses to be allocated to teachers working in primary and secondary schools in Banki town.

By; Zagazola Makama
The Police Command in Kano State has repelled an attack on its personnel during an operation to arrest a suspected bandit leader in Bichi Local Government Area.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred at about 6:30 p.m. on March 22, following a distress call from Tudun Wulli Outpost.
According to the sources, a team of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, led by ASP Abubakar Musa, acted on credible intelligence and trailed a suspected bandit leader identified as Muhammad, also known as “Senator” or “Kirchi,” who had reportedly visited Tudun Wulli village for Sallah celebrations.
“The suspect was sighted in possession of an AK-47 rifle, but upon attempt to apprehend him, he fled into a crowd,” the source said.
The situation escalated when a mob allegedly attacked the police team with stones and other dangerous weapons, injuring ASP Lawali Hamidu and damaging the windscreen of a patrol vehicle.
“In the process of tactical withdrawal, four persons sustained gunshot injuries and were rushed to General Hospital, Bichi, for treatment,” the source added.
One of the victims, identified as Halima Saidu, was later confirmed dead by a medical doctor, while the others are responding to treatment.
The police personnel involved in the operation were safely evacuated, and additional security deployments have been made to the area to forestall further breakdown of law and order.
The command said the situation has been brought under control, adding that investigations are ongoing, while efforts are being intensified to apprehend the fleeing suspect.
