President Muhammadu Buhari is billed to visit Borno State on security engagements on Friday, Governor Kashim Shettima stated this yesterday.
The governor noted with delight the relative peace and stability being enjoyed by inhabitants of the state and expressed the hope that the Boko Haram insurgency was largely over.
“Well, the ongoing insurgency problem is largely over, we might be having some hiccups but when you compare the past with the present, we have every cause to celebrate.
“We have pockets of the insurgents in and around the Lake Chad and the Sambisa Forest but when you juxtapose the sorry state of affairs three, four years ago and the current situation we are in, I think there is cause for celebration. There is no cause for alarm,’’ he said.
