Borno Governor Zulum Visits Niger Republic To Strengthen Military Cooperation Over Attacks Around Lake Chad

The visit follows recent military successes against Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgents, particularly in border communities where thousands of Nigerian refugees remain in camps.

The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has embarked on a visit to Diffa in the Niger Republic to strengthen security and economic cooperation across the Lake Chad basin.

The visit follows recent military successes against Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgents, particularly in border communities where thousands of Nigerian refugees remain in camps.

Diffa, located about 17 kilometres from Damasak in northern Borno, is currently hosting thousands of displaced persons who fled their homes following insurgent attacks.

Governor Zulum, who led a high-powered delegation, was received by the Governor of Diffa Region, Brig Gen Mahamadou Ibrahim Bagadoma, and other senior Nigerien officials.

Both leaders held a closed-door meeting focused on joint patrols, intelligence sharing, and consolidating fragile peace in liberated areas.

Speaking during the visit, Zulum said “My administration was working to take advantage of the improved security atmosphere to return displaced farmers to vast and fertile farmlands around Dutchi in the Lake Chad basin.”

He added “Restoring farming activities remains key to the region’s recovery and food security.”

The governor’s entourage included a member of the House of Representatives, Engineer Bukar Talba, Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly, Abdulkarim Lawan, and other senior government officials.

Sudden visit because the sahel coalition wants to release names of politicians sponsoring terrorists.
Yet some stupid citizens will be hailing this criminals.

As the minister of defence or what?

Guys do you link his visit to that list the Sahel guys say they have?

He was likely sent to go bargain. This is why the Sahel guys made that statement public. They indeed have a list of sponsors of banditry they need something else they would have just just went ahead and expose the sponsors without noise.
