Friday Declared Holiday In Borno As Jonathan Visits by olokfor: 3:49pm On Mar 06, 2013
Borno state government has declared Friday work-free day for both public and private sector, following the expected visit of PresidentGoodluck Jonathan to the state.


The state government, in a statement signed by the secretary to the state government, Amb.Baba Ahmed Jidda, said the work-free day is to honour the President who is coming to Maiduguri, the Borno state capital for the first time since assuming office as the president .
The President is expected to be in Damaturu, the Yobe state capital on Thursday. Then, he is expected to spend a night in Maiduguri and on Friday to visit some areas as well as meet with Borno elders on the current challenges of insecurity in the state.



Meanwhile, the heavy security presence and restriction of movement in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, following the visit of Mr. President is beginning to scare many residents.They are seen buying food stuff to keep in theirhomes, in case of any eventuality, as the heavysecurity presence is becoming alarming and scary. The fear has been compounded by the rumour making the rounds that the entire city would be shut down on Friday owing to the President's visit.
The people hope that the visit of Nigeria's number one citizen would not bring bad day forbusiness in the state.


"When the Vice President came, it was a sad day for me. The security has blocked all the roads and there is no business going on. I hope that they would have some human face; because we need to eat and make a living. For them, whether they go to work or not, their food is always there, unlike us who would have to go out everyday to look for what we would eat with our families," a local dweller, Aude Gana, says.

eba or whats that your miserable name. The post of leadership isn't for weaklings and cowards which is exactly what your Jonathan is. For three good years maiduguri a state under is rule has been on fire and you want me to celebrate the fact that he jus deemed it fit to visit there? Even though you voted him in out of sentimental reasons, that does not mean you should condone his inept leadership skills. Pls make no excuse for a failure cos it makes you look stupid
