Zulum Unveils Teachers’ Housing Project in Borno’s Buratai Community

Teachers in the Buratai community located in the Biu Local Government Area of Borno State are set to benefit from the Teachers’ Housing Project initiated by Governor Babagana Zulum’s administration.

Investors King gathered that the government is donating ten housing units for school teachers in the community.

During the project’s inauguration, Zulum explained that the housing initiative comprises 10 two-bedroom semi-detached bungalows.

He emphasized that this project demonstrates his administration’s commitment to providing affordable, quality healthcare and education services.

The governor noted that the initiative is part of a broader strategy to alleviate the housing challenges faced by teachers in the region.

Zulum stated, “I want to assure you that this administration is committed to providing affordable, quality healthcare delivery and, most importantly, education, which is the foundation for any meaningful development. Without education, there will be no meaningful progress.”

On October 10, the Borno State government secured a donation of 1.2 million euros from the Swiss Federation to support victims of the recent floods in the state.

The donation, directed to the Borno State Flood Disaster Relief Fund, was announced by the Swiss Ambassador to Nigeria, Nicolas Lang, during a condolence visit to the government house in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

Ambassador Lang was accompanied by Senior Humanitarian Advisor Nicolas Martin-Achard and Senior Political Advisor Florent Geel.

Lang noted that a previous donation from the Swiss government had been successfully used for its intended purpose, which was to support the Borno Model and mitigate the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.

He reiterated Switzerland’s continued support for the Borno State government, particularly residents affected by the crisis.
