Ndume, others raise millions for Borno IDPs resettlement

Senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume has donated N10 million, while his wife, Hajiya Maryam, donated N3 million, amongst other donations, to support the resettlement of IDPs in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno.

Ndume equally commended the State governor, Professor Babagana Zulum over the latter efforts in the ongoing Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RRR) of citizens in the North East state displaced as a result of activities of insurgents, who have now been resettled in their homes in the ten (10) communities of Gwoza Local Government Area.

The resettled IDPs are from 10 communities in Gwoza, including Gwoza, Pulka, Limankara, Warabe, Ngoshe, Kirawa, Izge, Bitta, Hambagtha, Modube, and Yamtake.

This was contained in a statement released by his media office on Tuesday.

The funds were raised through a dedicated account, Gwoza Concerned Citizens (GCCs), to complement the state government’s efforts.

Other contributors include JAIZ Bank, which donated N10 million, and Hon. Ahmed Jaha, who donated N5 million.

Ndume expressed gratitude to those who contributed to the GCCs’ account and praised the resilience of his people, who are busy working on their farmlands despite the challenges.
