With Borno state burning and collapsing from conflict, one would think that the government priority will be to use the scarce resources to activate/re-activate economic activities, or lunch some sort of massive public works program to engage everyone in some activity or the other. But see what they choose to focus on. What a shame

The Borno State government will build and renovate palaces for the 186 district heads across the eight emirate councils in the 27 local government areas of the state. Governor Kashim Shettima disclosed this at a meeting with traditional rulers in the state on how to tackle the insecurity problem and polio eradication in the state. The governor equally promised to provide the district heads with official cars. Shettima noted that it is the responsibility of the government to uplift the standard of traditional leaders.
