He commended the people of Borno for their unwavering courage and determination, describing them as a symbol of Nigeria’s collective strength and endurance.
“The people of Borno State symbolise the strength and staying power that Nigerians are imbued with. It is therefore appropriate for all other Nigerians to not only praise the citizens of the state but speak proudly of their ability to overcome challenges,” Idris said.
The Minister’s visit underscored the Federal Government’s recognition of Borno’s steady recovery and the resilience of its people in rebuilding communities affected by years of insurgency.
