Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno has distributed food items and cash to 100,000 under-privileged households in Maiduguri Metropolitan and Jere Local Government Areas.

Speaking at the occasion in Maiduguri on Tuesday, Zulum said that the gesture was part of the distribution of palliatives by the administration to cushion the hardship occasioned by insurgency and COVID-19 pandemic.

Zulum said that the beneficiaries were carefully selected by government to support the needy, particularly during this period of Ramadan fasting.
