Thats what BH is for

How exactly does Zulum want to generate #200 billion in a Boko Haram-ravaged state?

Perhaps the federal government will fund the budget because that sum is unrealistic.

Does Borno have crude oil and gold?

It's another one from Gov Zulum.

Thumbs up to him. Borno states needs to shore up their infrastructural deficit just like Pres Buhari is doing with Nigeria

Reconstruction in an unsettled zone.

Reasonable budget if well implemented

S

Doesn't look bad

See example of intolerance

Oh

Can someone remind me of the source of Borno state IGR ?
I can't find any

For me this is a nice budget, Borno need a rebuild a lot of infrastructure was destroyed due to insurgency.

But I fear that they might be destroyed and it will be money poured in a flowing drain. I will be glad if the Governor does not borrow much in funding this bill.

He need to focus more on Education, security and healthcare

He only said the ugly/plain /bitter truth. Your online appraisals mean nothing. he was elected by borno indigines to serve them and not seek cheap appraisals. Zulum himself is an indigine of borno, as governor he has visited almost all parts of borno and he is in better position to tell us about borno than people from other parts of the country. if he says the current administration has done better in borno than previous administration, then so be it. Zulum should not conceal the truth just to get appraisal from hypocrites.

You know that atimes, you need to treat a cow with respect so that it won't disrupt ur movement...with the double attempts on his life, the guy just dey apply wisdom.

Nothing towards education yet people wonder why they are backward..

What is the contribution of BORNO to Nigeria GDP and GNP?

I wonder if other governors and the presidency is seeing this. recurring expenditure getting 35%. I believe there must have been cuts in duplication of functions(cost of governance/salaries). This man is writing his name in the presidency "someday".

65% is much

8 billion na him share
