To reduce the high cost of living caused by fuel subsidy removal, the Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, on Tuesday, released 80 vehicles for free transportation of farmers from their communities to farmlands.

The 80 vehicles comprise 50 luxury buses to be allocated from the fleet of the Borno Express Corporation, the state-owned transport company, while the 30 pick-up vans will be hired by the state government.

“We are here purposely to support the farmers, you can see thousands of them have gathered and their numbers can reach up to 100,000.

“Therefore, Borno State Government has decided to provide 50 buses (and 30 pick-up vans) to convey farmers to their farmlands this rainy season,” Zulum said in Maiduguri.
Governor Zulum while addressing thousands of farmers, urged them to cooperate with soldiers, police, and other security agencies deployed to roads to protect citizens including farmers who go to the outskirts to access their farmlands.

“I want to urge you (farmers) to give maximum support and cooperation to the Nigerian Military. They (soldiers) are here to protect you,” Zulum said.

The governor expressed gratitude to the military for their sacrifices in protecting Borno’s people which is now enabling farming activities across the state.

Bafarawa complaint that there would be food shortage in three month if not secured.

Great initiative... we need a governors to invest in CNG busses and run a proper bus network in each state. creates bus routes in each state and employ people to run it.

This is great 👍.

This governor is really a different breed of politician.

Nice move, we are yet to see other governors do same

Damnnn niggar
Hahah It will favour me and my family

Una go hear word

Bunch of primitive, tribalistic and archaic people

Wait nor be this same fuel subsidy bros jona remove in 2012 way protest full everywhere even as at then things were cheap


What now happened in 2023....nobody wants to protest

Now we know the problem of Nigeria

We are playing a politics of tribalism...we can no longer deceive ourselves

Alright

Are the vehicles solar powered?

Dey play...

Jagbajantis intete.

80 buses to cushion the effect for farmers. One wonders what should happen to workers, traders and school children. Should they trek to school?

What's the point putting the cart before the horse? No proper planning. Now the citizens suffer more misery in the hands of poor leaders.

Once again, we do not know the true story behind the do called subsidy. Those who are accused of defrauding the entire nation still remain mysterious. How security agencies are not able to tell decent Nigerians who the subsidies are, beggars belief.

Nice one

Nice one Zulum.

This is one of the few political leaders that brought their intellectual capacity into governance

Let this man become our next President abeg

All hail Presidiot Tilumbu!!!

I bought fuel for N10 per litre at my hometown, Iragbiji.

Zulum has been representing since 19s

This was d first measures Jonathan put in place during d 2012 subsidy removal before men from d other darkside truncated d whole effort. Same men from d darkside now removed subsidy without putting any fucking measures in place.
He first brought 1600 transit busses, the second batch was on d way before Lagos-ibadan expressway media outlet started their propaganda.
Right now, go to cranny of dis Lagos, u will see one vagabond begging u for food to eat, or transport to get to work.
Ride on governor ZULUM,

When is Ogun State going to release bus for us to ease skull mining?

Good initiative. The only reliable APC member I can think of

Good one.

correct man

What about millions of non-farmers.

We like celebrating ineffective moves.

Would this be enough to service 0.1 % of Borno state farmers?
What happens to the remaining 99% the bus would not get to

crossfm:
This is great 👍.

This governor is really a different breed of politician.

Insecurity: Recruit 50 million youths into army, Tinubu urges FG

All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, on Monday, urged the Federal Government to recruit at least 50 million youths into the Nigerian Army to boost Nigeria’s fight against terrorism, banditry and all forms of internal and external security threats confronting the nation.

Tinubu spoke at the 12th colloquium to celebrate his 69th birthday in Kano State.

He said, “We are under-policed and we are competing with armed robbers and bandits to recruit from the youths who are unemployed —33 per cent unemployed?”

“Recruit 50 million youths into the army,” he stated, adding that “what they will eat —cassava, corn, yam, will grow here.”

The APC chieftain, while reacting to recent statistics by the National Bureau of Statistics that over 23 million Nigerians are jobless, also urged the government to create jobs for youths in the agricultural value chains.

He said, “Don’t talk about illiteracy, anybody who can hold a gun, who can handle a gun, who can cock and shoot is technically competent to repair a tractor in the farm.”

If it’s not CNG or Electric, you have not solved any problems, you just pushed it forward, call Lagos for feedback

That is just temporary.
