Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum was at headquarters of the Federal Character Commission in Abuja, with a request that Borno is given special consideration on the allocation of employment slots.
The governor explained that with adverse effects of the Boko Haram insurgency, hundreds of thousands of citizens in Borno state, have lost their means of livelihood while many qualified youths are jobless despite ongoing efforts by the state government in creating job opportunities through diverse means.
The Governor who is Chairman of the Northeast Governor’s Forum also appealed for other states in the northeast to be given considerations that are higher compared to other states across the country, noting that although Borno has been worst affected by the insurgency, other states in the northeast have had terrible experiences which makes them well deserving of support from the federal government particularly on employment of eligible youths.
