Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, personally supervised the distribution of food relief provided by the federal government to more than 10,000 families in Mafa Local Government Area.
The relief effort took place on Tuesday, across four designated centers in Mafa town, which serves as the administrative headquarters of the local government.
During the distribution, each household head received a relief package that included a 50kg bag of maize grain, an essential staple in the region.
The governor expressed deep gratitude to the federal government for its timely intervention, which aimed to alleviate the ongoing hardship faced by many residents in the state, particularly in areas affected by insecurity and displacement.
Zulum emphasized the importance of this support in sustaining the livelihoods of families in Mafa and highlighted that similar distributions of food aid had already taken place in other affected areas, including Gwoza and Nganzai.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to working closely with federal authorities to ensure that relief efforts continue to reach those most in need.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy by both the state and federal governments to provide critical assistance to vulnerable communities across Borno State, as efforts to restore peace and stability in the region continue.
