He also enrolled 150 youths in a digital literacy training program and provided dedicated teachers in remote areas with newly commissioned quarters.
He inspected the ongoing construction of 45 classrooms, which will provide a conducive learning environment for thousands of students in Northern Borno upon completion.

The community has welcomed Governor Zulum’s efforts, which are seen as a significant step towards rebuilding the state after years of insurgency.
The Minister of State, Water Resources and Sanitation, Bello Koronyo said the federal government will complement the effort of the Borno government in job creation through farming, which will ensure food security for the nation.
He also commended Zulum for initiating developmental programs for the benefit of the people.
“Your initiative offers hope for a brighter future and demonstrates the administration’s dedication to driving development and progress in Borno State,” Koronyo said.
