Gov Zulum Reallocates Unoccupied Estate To IDPs

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State on Monday revoked all allocations of houses that have remained unoccupied at Indimi Estate for more than a year, in Bama local government area.

Zulum said since it was obvious that those given the houses do not need them, internally displaced persons, many of whom live in government camps be given, ordering that they immediately occupy the unoccupied houses.

The Governor gave the order at the Shehu of Bama’s palace on Monday, where he spent the entire day interacting with the people of the area and IDPs, leading other government officials in the distribution of food and non food items to those in critical need.

The Estate, made up of 100 units of two-bedroom houses, was built by Borno born billionaire business man, Alhaji Muhammad Indimi as part of support to his home state.

The houses which were allocated more than a year ago, have allottees holding on to them without occupying. 

“Borno state government has revoked all allocations of houses at Indimi Estate, we cannot tolerate a situation were people claim ownership of those houses while they are living in Maiduguri. Your highness, kindly compile the list of IDPs from Jaudari village, all the houses should be allocated to them” Zulum told his host, Shehu Umar Ibn Kyari Elkanemi.

The IDPs, now staying in Bama town, were mostly from villages sacked by insurgents in Banki, Gulumba, and Nguro Soye, all in Bama Local Government Area, in Borno Central.

.. Orders reopening of 3 secondary schools

Meanwhile, after his food distribution, Governor Zulum announced plan to reopen three secondary schools in Bama.
