…to help post-insurgency recovery

… describes Zulum as the best-performing governor

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Saturday flagged off the construction of the 49.55-kilometre Dikwa–Gamboru Ngala Road and the 49.15-kilometre Bama–Banki Road, describing the strategic highways as critical to economic growth, regional integration, and national security.

The two road projects, regarded as economic lifelines of the North-East, serve as key gateways to neighbouring African countries, bolstering cross-border trade, facilitating the movement of agricultural produce, and strengthening security operations in a region recovering from over a decade of insurgency.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held along the Maiduguri–Gamboru Ngala Road, where Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima represented President Tinubu.
