The Governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum has urged citizens of the state to fast and offer special prayers on Monday, as done in the past, for divine intervention over the current hardship caused by inflation.
Zulum, in his broadcast to the people of the state, implored traditional rulers, clerics, and citizens to observe a one-day voluntary fast on Monday for peace, prosperity, and the development of the state.
“I am deeply troubled by the recent hardships faced by our citizens, particularly the high cost of food items.
“I understand the burden that this places on families and individuals, and I want to assure you that we are taking decisive steps to alleviate this issue.
Our government is focusing on reviving agriculture in the state, intending to increase food production and reduce our reliance on food palliative.
“We are investing in modern farming techniques, providing support to local farmers, and creating incentives for agricultural innovation. By doing so, we hope to not only lower the cost of food items but also to create sustainable livelihoods for our people,” Zulum said.
