Governor Sani-Bello made the revelation when he appeared as a guest on Arise TV “The Morning Show” programme in Abuja.

Recall that Governor Sani-Bello recently visited IDPs camp in Gwada, Shiroro local government area of the state where he revealed that 12 local government areas out of the 25 local government areas in the state have been affected by the activities of terrorists.
The governor during the visit interacted with the people, directed for the provision of more basic facilities at the camp to avert the spread of epidemic disease.
He assured the people of government’s unwavering determination in ensuring that the people return back to their ancestral homes before the raining season as they are predominantly farmers and failure to farm could have adverse effects on the state and beyond.
