Zulum to Banks: Dispense New Notes Or We Revoke Your Land
Except for those with verifiable constraints such as lacking supplies from the CBN, Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum has directed that any bank which refuses to dispense new naira notes via Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and banking halls should have its land revoked by the state government.
Zulum issued the directive on Friday afternoon in Maiduguri after visiting branches of banks to assess problems being faced by residents in trying to access new naira notes via long queues at ATMs amid acute scarcity and hopelessness.
“Any bank in Borno State that is not willing to ensure their ATMs are fully dispensing new naira notes cash to ease the suffering of our people, we will withdraw their land title immediately. We will only spare Banks with genuine constraints that are verifiable” Zulum said.
Before that declaration, Governor Zulum was unhappy when he saw hundreds of people queued at a bank’s branch, with only one out of 10 ATMs dispensing cash.
“As you can see here, only less privileged people are queued up. I didn't see rich people here. Many people are said to be here since 3:00 am, some could not even eat anything. The new naira note and even the old ones are not available and that is adversely affecting commercial activities in the state and people are suffering” Zulum said as he sympathize with people in queues.
The Governor said further: “We just released salaries of about 5 billion naira and the banks don't have money, some of the ATMs are not working. We don't have any problem with the CBN policy or the withdrawal limit, they said individuals can only withdraw N20,000, but why can’t everyone have access to that N20,000?” he said.
“Yesterday I was in Gubio with a population of over 70,000 people but it was impossible to source N100,000 in the entire local government, neither of the new note nor the old notes. A ram that is worth N100,000 is now being sold for N35,000 because people are desperate for cash, and some wicked rich people are going to rural areas to exploit poor people” Zulum noted.
The Governor urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to ensure the availability of new notes at commercial banks for people to access their money.
“Right now in Borno State, I have visited more than ten ATMs and there’s no cash” Zulum said.

Gubio: Zulum commissions 7 capital projects
Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, on Friday commissioned seven capital projects executed by his administration at Gubio town of Gubio Local Government Area (LGA) in the northern part of the state.
The projects comprised of Government Secondary School, Gubio, which was rebuilt and reopened after Boko Haram destruction, a Computer Training Centre, Remodeled Gubio Secretariat, the Education Authority headquarters, the Police Divisional Headquarters, 80-shops in three shopping locations, Community Islamiya School, and Gubio Local Government Party Secretariat, which were executed by the state’s Ministry of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement under Engr Mustapha Gubio.
During the commissioning of each of the projects, Zulum highlighted some potential benefits citizens are expected to maximally derive.
On the computer centre which was the first of the projects commissioned, Governor Zulum said it was aimed at providing digital literacy to the people.
The centre has 20 computer sets with provision for future expansion to meet the anticipated increase of trainees. The centre is powered with solar and a back up generating set.
At the rehabilitated Gubio Local Government Secretariat which was destroyed by Boko Haram insurgents, Zulum explained the need for a conducive working environment for workers.
Another project, the local education authority's headquarters is to support the implementation of policies and programmes in the primary education sector, Zulum said.
The rehabilitated Divisional Police Headquarters with fencing as well as a remodelled DPO’s quarters is to encourage police in fighting crime, the governor noted.
The 80 shops in three locations, out of which 50 were built from scratch while the other 30 were those destroyed by Boko Haram and reconstructed, will help to stimulate commercial activities, the governor indicated.
An Islamiyya Primary School also commissioned, will combine western and Islamic education in a way that children from traditional Sangaya schools can get access to numeracy and literacy skills.
The local government party secretariat which is to enhance democratic activities was privately built and donated by the state’s Commissioner for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement, Engr. Mustapha Gubio, who hails from Gubio Local Government Area.

Floods: Zulum in Niger Republic, visits Borno refugees displaced from Malam-Fatori
. Governor Meets Multinational Forces
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum was in Bosso, a border town in Niger Republic on Sunday, to visit citizens of Borno State who were displaced by flooding.
The citizens were residents of Malam-Fatori, headquarters of Abadam Local Government in the northern part of Borno State along the shores of Lake Chad.
Malam-Fatori is close to Bosso in Niger Republic.
For years, Nigerians and Nigeriens from the border areas often move in and out of the border towns for social, trade and cultural trade purposes.
Around 2013 and 2014, many Nigerians from Abadam, Monguno and a number of the 10 LGAs in northern Borno, took refuge in Bosso and lived there for seven years, fleeing from attacks by Boko Haram insurgents on Nigeria’s side of the border.
Zulum has since becoming Governor in 2019 travelled to different parts of Niger Republic on about 10 occasions, and all visits were for humanitarian assessments and interventions.
As an outcome of Zulum’s visits, thousands of refugees returned from Bosso and were resettled in their ancestral communities mostly in northern Borno.
A number of them were resettled in Malam-Fatori early this year (2022).
Malam-Fatori was occupied by Boko Haram for seven years since 2014 before it was recovered by the military.
Zulum was in Malam-Fatori at different times supervising reconstruction works, as citizens who returned were gradually picking the pieces of their lives until a recent flood said to have been caused by excessive recharge around Lake Chad, this year.
The Governor addressed the victims (Malam-Fatori’s residents) taking refuge in Bosso.
“We are here to sympathize with you over the flood disaster that has affected you. Many of you lost personal belongings. Insha Allah, Borno State Government will support you and we will return you to your community as soon as the water recedes” Zulum said.
The Governor thanked officials of Niger Republic for always welcoming Nigerians from Borno State in hours of distress.
Zulum to President Bazoum Mohammed of Niger Republic and Governors in charge of provinces neighbouring communities in Borno State.
.. Governor Meets Multinational Forces
Meanwhile, during his trip to Bosso, Governor Zulum interfaced with soldiers of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF).
The soldiers were under Sector 3 of the MNJTF.
The Governor interacted with the sector’s Commander, Brig Gen AbdulSalam Abubakar and paid tributes to troops for their huge sacrifices.
Zulum while speaking the MNJTF commander, expressed gratitude to Presidents of Lake Chad countries deploying soldiers to the Multinational Joint Task Force.
He praised President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, and Presidents of Niger, Chad, and Cameroon Republics for their relentless commitments to the fight against insurgents in their countries.
Zulum returned to Maiduguri on Sunday night after the humanitarian visit.
