Zulum Urges One-Day Prayer And Fasting Against Hardship

Amidst the rising economic strain characterized by inflation and exorbitant food prices, Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has embarked on both spiritual and practical initiatives to tackle the crisis head-on.

In a bid to seek divine intervention, Governor Zulum has urged citizens to participate in a one-day voluntary fast and offer special prayers on Monday. This call for spiritual intervention harkens back to traditional practices aimed at overcoming challenges, underscoring the gravity of the economic hardship facing the state’s populace.

Expressing heartfelt concern for the citizens, Governor Zulum acknowledged the heavy burden imposed by skyrocketing food prices. He reassured the public of his administration’s unwavering commitment to addressing these challenges through decisive actions, with a primary focus on revitalizing the agricultural sector.

The government’s strategy involves ramping up food production, reducing reliance on food aid, and promoting agricultural innovation through investment in modern farming techniques and support for local farmers. By fostering sustainable livelihoods and lowering food prices, these efforts aim to uplift the people of Borno State.

Governor Zulum also extended gratitude to the Federal Government for its support in combating insurgency and fostering development in the state. He commended security forces and volunteers for their sacrifices in ensuring a secure environment conducive to progress.

Addressing immediate needs, the governor highlighted ongoing efforts to increase the distribution of food aid, particularly in urban centers like Maiduguri Metropolitan and Jere. Additionally, initiatives to improve healthcare, education, and water supply are underway to enhance the overall well-being of residents.

However, amidst these endeavors, Governor Zulum addressed recent security challenges, including incidents involving mines on major roads. He condemned these acts of sabotage and reiterated the government’s commitment to collaborating with security forces to ensure the safety of all citizens and travelers within the state.

Overall, Governor Zulum’s comprehensive approach underscores a dedication to addressing the multifaceted challenges facing Borno State, from economic hardship to security threats, with a blend of spiritual guidance and practical solutions aimed at fostering prosperity and stability.
