Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum has inaugurated a 500 resettlement housing estate in Konduga Local Government Area in the central part of the state.
The resettlement houses have public facilities such as schools, a primary healthcare centre, water facilities, and other basic needs.
In an event held on Sunday in Konduga town, Zulum noted that the resettlement marked the beginning of the closure of IDP camps in the Konduga local government area. About 500 families benefited from the gesture.
In addition to the houses, each family also received food items, blankets, mats, mattresses, rubber buckets, and wrappers.
Similarly, each head of the household received N50,000; while the housewives received N20,000 as part of the resettlement package to support them in picking up the pieces of their lives.
Those resettled were from the 10 communities displaced by the Boko Haram insurgents: Towuri, Modu Amsamiri, Goniri, Mairamiri, Lawanti Grema Gogobe, Bula Bowuri, Zarmari, Amusari, Bula Bakaraye and Furi.
Meanwhile, Zulum has directed the Ministry for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement to complete the construction work for 500 houses in Dalwa town within six months.
He also directed the construction of another 500 houses in Aulari town in the Konduga Local Government Area.
Zulum also directed the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation to immediately assess the College of Business and Administration Konduga and determine the extent of the destruction the Boko Haram insurgents wrecked on the college.
