Following the gradual return of peace to parts of Borno State after over a decade of insurgency, the state government has embarked on a massive irrigation farming to boost agricultural activities across 25 local government areas of the state.

Zulum stated that the government would take advantage of the arable land in the state which, over the years, had been underutilised to engage farmers and returning IDPs in order to provide food security and also improve their socio-economic status. “Borno State has vast arable land and 70 per cent of Borno land has never been cultivated while the remaining 30 per cent is underutilised due largely to activities of insurgents over the years.

“This is one of the reasons we stopped donors from distributing foodstuffs to returning communities,” the governor said.
