Sunday, December 21, 2025 - President Bola Tinubu on Saturday in Maiduguri commended Gov. Babagana Zulum for sustained investments in education, health and transportation to improve livelihoods in Borno.
Tinubu spoke while inaugurating electric vehicles,
intra-state buses, tricycles, and three model primary, junior secondary and
senior secondary schools built by the state government.
“I am inaugurating these primary, junior secondary and
senior secondary schools to the glory of God and for the continuous education
of our children,” the president said.
